Variations & Tips
For a creamier version, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of mascarpone cheese when tossing the pasta with Parmesan. If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. For a protein boost, grilled chicken or shrimp can be added to the pasta. You might also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Pecorino Romano, for a slightly different flavor profile.
