Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be al dente. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or water to the sauce to maintain creaminess.
