Add the uncooked pasta to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the pasta is fully cooked al dente and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. This process should take approximately 15 minutes. If the sauce becomes too dry, add a splash more cream or water. If it's too thin, let it simmer for a few more minutes to reduce.
