Notes

  • Pasta Choice: We've used penne pasta for this recipe, but feel free to use any pasta shape of your choice. Just adjust cooking times as needed.
  • Dairy Substitutions: For those with dietary restrictions, you can use non-dairy milk and vegan cheese alternatives.
  • Adding Protein: You can easily add more protein to this dish. Grilled chicken, sautéed shrimp, or chickpeas would all be great additions.
  • Reheating Leftovers: If reheating leftovers, you may need to add a splash of milk to loosen up the sauce. Always ensure that leftovers are heated to a safe temperature before serving.
  • Saving Pasta Water: Remember to reserve some pasta water before draining. This starchy water can help adjust the sauce consistency if it becomes too thick.
