Substitutions & Variations:

Not Dairy Free - Use dairy butter, heavy cream and Parmesan in the same measure.

Add Protein - Stir in cooked ground beef, chicken, shrimp, or sausage for a heartier meal that still keeps the sauce star of the show.

Add veggies - Mix in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers to add color and nutrition without overpowering the delicate sauce.

Make it Spicy - If you like a little heat, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
