For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Other vegetables like asparagus, peas, or mushrooms would also be delicious in this dish. To make this dish lighter, use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream, but be aware that the sauce may not thicken as much. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be used in place of dill.
