Free food & cooking tip: Twist, don't dump (step 8 of 8 from "Weeknight Pasta Lab").
The last 60 seconds of tossing in the pan is the dish. Use tongs, twist a nest onto the plate, extra cheese and pepper on top. If sauce is left in the pan, you used too little pasta water or too much pasta.
Reheat oil-based and tomato sauces in a skillet with a splash of water. Microwave cacio e pepe only if you accept your fate.
