Pro Tips
- The oil from the sun-dried tomato jar is packed with flavor — always use it.
- Vegan: omit chicken, replace cream with oat milk, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
- Cannabis-infused olive oil and quality olive oil pair perfectly — you barely taste it.
- Pasta water is the best sauce extender — the starch makes the sauce creamier.
