Add chunks of mozzarella cheese. After that, add pasta. Pour heavy cream over the pasta and cover with a lid. Cook while stirring occasionally for 4 minutes.
When the pasta is fully cooked, uncover the pan. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper when needed. Add parmesan cheese on top (and add more cheese if needed!).
