• For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
• Be careful not to overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook slightly when added to the sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Alfredo pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the pasta in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the pasta as a main course or as a side dish with garlic bread and a fresh salad.
