Variations
If you don’t love the sound of using heavy cream try coconut milk in a can. Dairy free but still makes a great sauce mixture.
Use zucchini noodles or zoodles instead of pasta
Sub the spaghetti noodles for penne pasta or another kind of pasta.
Want to add some spice? Add 1/2 tablespoon of red pepper flakes , black pepper and Tuscan Italian seasoning.
