Notes

⏳ Cook pasta al dente by reducing cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes to avoid mushiness.
🍴 Toss pasta with tongs to evenly coat with sauce.
🥦 Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, or peas and fresh herbs such as parsley or basil to boost flavor.
🧈 For richer flavor, sauté mushrooms in butter instead of oil.
🌿 Substitute with pasta alternatives like cheese tortellini or zoodles with adjusted cooking times.
🔥 Reheat thickened sauce with a splash of heavy cream to loosen.
🍗 Leftover cooked chicken can be reheated and added to sauce.
🧀 Prefer freshly grated parmesan but pre-grated is acceptable.
🌶️ Season with extra garlic, salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes for enhanced flavor.
💧 To thicken sauce, add more parmesan, cornstarch, or reserved pasta water.
