💡 Pro Tips for a Perfect Creamy Pasta

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture.

  • Don’t overheat the sauce — keep it on low to prevent curdling.

  • Add grilled chicken, mushrooms, or spinach for extra protein and flavor.


🧊 Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

  • Reheat with a splash of milk or cream to bring back the silky texture.
