EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Shredded Parm provides some texture and a bigger flavor burst than grated Parmesan cheese, though either is tasty.

If you like, top with grilled or sautéed shrimp or chicken. Smaller portions are perfect as appetizers or sides.

The pasta was very bland. I think next time I will try fresh tomatoes and more spices.
