For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce just before serving. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta, such as penne or fusilli, based on your preference. If you like a richer sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Fresh basil leaves, chopped and sprinkled over the finished dish, add a burst of vibrant freshness. Add sauteed vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for more variety
