- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Cook Pasta Al Dente: When cooking the pasta, cook it al dente, meaning it should still have a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.

- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and oregano, add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Season to Taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or chili flakes to your liking.
