Handy Tips
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
- Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be al dente for the best texture.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
Ingredient Swaps
- Heavy Cream: Substitute with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Parmesan Cheese: Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Fettuccine: Any pasta shape can work, such as penne or spaghetti.
