Notes
Feel free to customize the herbs to your taste. Fresh herbs can also be used for a more vibrant flavor. You can add veggies like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers for a nutritious twist. Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if you prefer a healthier or dietary-sensitive option. For a creamier dish, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese while mixing in the pasta.
