Substitutes to make this dish
- Pasta: I have used farfalle pasta but you can use any pasta or spaghetti of your choice. Pasta should be cooked Al dente so that they don’t get over cooked while preparing the dish.
- Cheese: Parmesan cheese is preferred but feel free to use any other.
- Parsley: fresh parsley is recommended, but you can also opt for a smaller portion of the dry alternative or replace with any other herb like celery or basil.
- Crushed black pepper: or dried red chillies, for garnish.
