Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and flavor. Season generously throughout the cooking process. Don't rush the sauce; allow each ingredient to properly combine. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating with a splash of milk. For a healthier option, consider using zucchini noodles or Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
