Frequently Asked Questions
- → What pasta shape works best?
Medium shapes like Cellentani, penne, or rotini work well. They hold sauce and cook evenly in the pan.
- → Can I use different apples?
Granny Smith adds nice tartness but any firm apple works. Avoid soft apples that might get mushy while cooking.
- → Can I make this ahead?
Best served fresh as pasta continues absorbing sauce. Reheat leftovers with a splash of cream or broth.
- → What cheese can I substitute?
Any melting cheese works - try cheddar or mozzarella. Avoid hard cheeses that won't melt smoothly.
- → Is the pan size important?
Use a large, deep skillet or pan that's oven-safe for broiling. Pan needs room for pasta to cook evenly.
