FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different type of pasta?
A: Yes, you can substitute caserecce with another type of pasta such as penne, rigatoni, or fusilli, although the sauce will cling best to pasta shapes with ridges or twists.
Q: How can I make the dish spicier?
A: To add more heat, stir in some red pepper flakes while sautéing the onion and garlic, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream sauce.
Q: Can I freeze this dish?
A: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or the microwave, adding a little extra cream or broth to bring it back to life.
Q: What side dish pairs well with this?
A: A light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette or roasted vegetables works well to balance the creamy pasta.
