You don’t have to use angel hair pasta for this recipe. Any type of pasta will work great, whether it's long or short, boxed or fresh, gluten-free, or made from rice!
Just a little tip: try to avoid swapping out the heavy whipping cream for milk or any lower-fat options. The cream adds that delicious richness that really makes this dish feel special!
When you add the cream to your hot pan, remember to stir it often. Keeping it moving helps prevent any burning.
