Notes

For a lighter version, consider using ground turkey or swapping heavy cream for Greek yogurt. Experiment with different pasta shapes or add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to enhance the dish. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream to restore creaminess. Try adding herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor, and serve with crusty bread and a salad for a complete meal.
