Notes

  • If you don’t have any garlic herb butter, you can make your own! Simply mix garlic and fresh (or dried) herbs with softened butter. You can substitute ALL of the dairy in this recipe for your favorite vegan options- be sure to use slightly less plant-based milk and add nutritional yeast to bring out some cheesy flavor! Make this recipe for your family and friends! They’ll LOVE it and so will you! Swap the long fusilli for your preferred pasta shape OR use gluten-free pasta! Store the pasta in the fridge for 5 – 7 days, and reheat to serve!
