How do you keep creamy pasta creamy?

How do you keep creamy pasta creamy? For creamy pasta, you must cook it to al dente in salted water and throw, so that it will stick to the pasta. Add a spoonful of pasta water to help thin the sauce if you want and keep it sticking, because starch helps it to stick and will also keep it as creamy as possible. Stir it often so that it won’t stick but will stay creamy. Just before serving it, add a small pat of butter and a hint of cream on top. That’s it.
