  • If sauce thickens too much, splash in more pasta water or a splash of milk.
  • Lemon adds brightness; skip if dairy-free is required.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a simple green salad and garlic bread for a complete plate.

Storage Instructions

Cool completely; refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or pasta water to loosen.
