For an even richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a delightful hint of spice. Consider adding sauteed garlic or shallots to the butter for extra depth of flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta. Penne or rotini work well too. To make it a complete meal, stir in cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or spinach.
