Notes:

  1. You can opt for a vegan version using plant-based cheese and milk, it will be delicious. In this case, add a bunch of macadamia nuts or pine nuts in the blender to enhance the creamy texture.
  2. To make this recipe gluten free, you can use any type of gluten free spaghetti or linguine as a substitution. 
  3. Optionally, plate the pasta in an oven-safe dish and top with mozzarella or queso blanco. Bake or broil until the cheese is melted.
