SMART TIPS
Add vegetables of your choice. I often add green peppers, carrots and peas. Even mushrooms would go well.
You can add some grated cheese before serving.
Skip cream and cheese to keep this simple. I often make it that way and it comes out just as good. Adding some cream and cheese just makes it extra creamy and rich

Make sure you don’t overcook your pasta. Follow the instructions of the package to make it al-dente.
