Tried this for dinner and it's going in the rotation. Took me one attempt to stop overthinking it. Any tweaks you'd make a second time around?

This is the part nobody tells you about: the boring middle stretch where nothing visibly works. I almost quit around month three, then it compounded all at once. Did you hit a wall like that, or did momentum come early?

Adding for anyone reading: start smaller than feels reasonable. The momentum matters way more than the size of the first step.
Here's my attempt — not bad for a Tuesday. The starchy pasta water really is the whole secret. Do you finish it off the heat too?
