Notes

Serve warm garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of spicy breadcrumbs. Pair it with a simple green salad or some crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. If you have leftovers, let the pasta cool down before transferring it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to restore the creamy texture.
