Notes
- If you want to make this dish a little healthier, try using low-fat milk and cutting back on the amount of butter and olive oil used in the sauce.
- You can also use whole wheat pasta for added nutrition.
- You can easily double or triple this depending on how many people you’re serving. This is a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat when you’re ready to serve.
- If you want a spicier version of this dish, try adding more crushed red pepper or other hot spices to the sauce.
- If you don't have Asiago cheese on hand, you can substitute with another type of mild cheese such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
