Serving Suggestions

• Garlic bread
• Caesar salad
• Roasted broccoli or asparagus
• Mushrooms or spinach mixed into the pasta

Tips

• Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
• Reserve a little pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
• Avoid boiling the cream sauce too hard to prevent separation.
• You can substitute shrimp or salmon for chicken.
