Can I use milk instead of cream?

You can, but the sauce won't be as rich or thick. If you must, use whole milk and add an extra 1/4 cup of Parmesan to help thicken it. But trust me—the cream is worth it

How do I make it spicier?

Toss in 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes with the garlic, or add a dash of hot sauce when stirring in the cream. My husband loves it with both

Can I prep this ahead?

Cook the beef mixture ahead, but make the sauce fresh. The pasta soaks up the sauce over time—just add extra cream when reheating.

What pasta shape works best?

Fettuccine or penne are my top picks—they hold the sauce beautifully. But honestly? Even elbow macaroni tastes amazing here
