Swap the fettuccine for whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if dietary needs call for it. Feeling fancy? Add grilled chicken, sautéed shrimp, or roasted veggies. Garnish with extra cheese for maximum indulgence or crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat. Remember, the key to a creamy sauce is to keep stirring. And yeah, don’t forget to twirl that pasta like you’re in a classic Italian movie!
