  5. Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth, about 4-5 minutes. Then, stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should be glossy and slightly viscous.

  6. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing gently to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
