For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter in the sauce. A splash of dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, can be added to the cream sauce for extra depth of flavor. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago, for a different flavor profile. If you want to use asparagus, make sure to adjust the blanching time as needed.
