Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms for deeper flavor.
  • Add truffle oil sparingly as it is strong.
  • Include grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Reduce cream and use pasta water for a lighter version.
  • Use plant-based cream and cheese for a vegan option.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently with added milk or cream.
