FAQ
Can I use a different type of pasta?
Yes! Any pasta of your choice can work here, like spaghetti, penne, or farfalle. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the type of pasta.

Can I substitute the half-and-half cream?
If you’d like a lighter version, you can substitute the half-and-half cream with more milk, or use a dairy-free alternative like almond milk or coconut milk.

Can I make this in advance?
While this dish is best served fresh, you can prep the vegetables and make the sauce ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator, and just combine everything when you’re ready to eat.
