    In the meantime, cook the pasta for about 3 minutes (since it's fresh), drain and transfer to the skillet. Save about 1/2 cup pasta water before draining to aid in creating a thin sauce. Toss everything around to coat, and add as much pasta water as needed. Finally, add the last two tablespoons oil and toss to coat.
