Notes

For a vegan version, use olive oil instead of butter and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. To add protein, include grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water.
