Notes

Make sure that you do not overcook the Pasta, it needs to be Al Dente.
If you like your Pasta to be more creamy and rich, you can increase the amount of fresh cream and parmesan cheese.
If you are making for a large crowd, for instance, a party or get together, you can just double or triple the ingredients.
Do not miss adding garlic to this pasta, it adds a delicious flavor to this Tuscan Pasta.
It gets ready under 30 minutes, which means it is perfect for your weekday meals.
