This sauce is pretty creamy but if you want to sprinkle some fresh parmesan cheese at the end you could do so. Also if you want to add some heat, sprinkle some hot pepper flakes. And lastly if you want to add some meat try some cooked chicken or shrimp.
You can also use this sauce recipe with regular pasta if you don't care about carbs. You can even add some fresh spinach to it for color and nutrition. Just add the fresh chopped spinach at the end of making the sauce and stir until it wilts.
