Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz angel hair pasta

- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until slightly firm. Drain well, reserving a splash of pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce later.

- Toss gently: With tongs or a pasta fork, carefully mix everything together. Add the reserved pasta water if the mixture feels a little too dry.

For extra flavor, use homemade Caesar dressing and feel free to add vegetables or swap pasta types.
