Notes
Roasted garlic: For a quick roasted garlic topping, you can add a bit of oil to a frying pan with minced garlic and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until browned.Optional add-in: If you want to fancy-up this dish, crisp some chopped prosciutto, pancetta, or bacon on the stove and stir it into the pasta towards the end of cooking. It'll add a little extra saltiness and a nice crunch to the dish.
