Tips/Hints: Note: According to the original recipe the scamorza cheese is added directly into the sauce together with pasta and then mixed. However I wouldn't recommend you to do so! The melted cheese causes a lot mess in TM Bowl as it tends to stick. The bowl gets dirty and it takes long to clean all. The best way for me is to add the cheese at the end
