If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. Just add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan to help thicken the sauce.
If you like your pasta spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
Serve this pasta with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
