Notes
- Use any pasta of choice. For a much healthier option, use lentil or chickpea pasta which are packed with protein.
- Any milk of choice: we prefer using 2% or skim milk. You may use almond or coconut milk. Consistency and flavor will change slightly.
- Oil: we used olive oil, but you may use avocado oil
- Cheese: we prefer parmesan cheese for this recipe. You may use shredded romano
