• For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add some freshly cracked black pepper.

• To reheat, simply heat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of water or broth until warmed through.
• This pasta can be served as a main dish or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
