• For a thicker sauce, add a bit of cream or a slurry of cornstarch and water; stir until desired consistency is reached.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter sauce.
• Substitute gluten-free pasta and dairy-free butter to accommodate dietary restrictions, ensuring a similar taste and texture.
• When reheating, add a splash of reserved pasta water or broth to maintain the creamy consistency and prevent drying out.
