Chef’s Recommendations
- Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- For a variation, add cooked shrimp, chicken, or mushrooms to the sauce.
- To make the dish lighter, use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread and a Caesar salad for a complete meal.
