Notes

To make this cream cheese pasta even quickly, use some fresh tagliatelle which is ready in a few minutes.
Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water. You really don't want to skip this step, as it makes the sauce so silky.
If you like your food spicy, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes on top before serving.
Add a splash of olive oil to the pan before serving for an extra boost of flavour.
Serve with extra parmesan and cracked black pepper if you like.
