Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also substitute the bowtie pasta with penne or rigatoni for a different texture. To make it more vegetable-rich, consider adding sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the sauce. For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
