For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded. Don't skip squeezing the spinach dry! This step is crucial for preventing a watery sauce. If you don't have fettuccine, other pasta shapes like rotini, penne, or farfalle will work well. Adjust the amount of garlic to your personal preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the dish. Feel free to add cooked chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
