Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the flavor and texture of the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently, adding a splash of cream for a creamy consistency.
