The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don’t bother. The one or two times I’ve needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.

Oops, I did it again. I had the cup out, in front of all the stuff while I boiled some tortellini, then just as I finished draining the pasta: “dammit”.
Aside from that: garlic, pesto and red pepper flakes simmered a bit in olive oil, throw in some red bell peppers. Stir In the pasta until it’s covered. Then throw in a bunch of spinach and shaved Parmesan, and outstanding! This is my favorite dinner …. But it would be better with pasta water
