Notes

If you want an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of white wine to the Alfredo sauce while it's simmering. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference; start with a little and add more if desired. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to keep the sauce creamy.
