- Reduce the heat just a little so the water is boiling gently not violently for 5-6 minutes or until al dente (or as directed by your pasta bag).
- Strain the pasta and toss it with the the avocado oil. Use a little avocado oil to brush the edge of the bowl so the cheese doesn't stick too much.2 Tbsp avocado oil
