Tips and Variations
- Add veggies: spinach, cherry tomatoes, or steamed broccoli, although that last one can get messy. For extra colour and nutrition, how about some spinach, cherry tomatoes, or steaming the things in stemming rice?
- Change the Protein: Trade chicken for shrimp or go vegetarian with mushrooms.
- Goes In Hot: Sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the sauce for a little kick.
- Creamier Sauce: Increase the butter, a half-tablespoon or more, and you can sprinkle on additional grated Parmesan.
- How to store leftovers: Store leftover pasta in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for 3 days. Simply reheat over the stove with a little chicken broth or milk to retain that creaminess.
