About Linguine in cream sauce

Linguine in cream sauce is a classic Italian-inspired dish known for its velvety texture and rich flavors. This recipe features tender strands of linguine pasta coated in a luscious cream-based sauce, often enhanced with butter, garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Variations may include fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or proteins such as chicken or shrimp. While the dish delivers a satisfying indulgence, its richness comes primarily from the heavy cream and cheese, making it calorie-dense and higher in saturated fats. Whole-grain or alternative pastas can boost fiber, while adding vegetables increases vitamins and minerals. Enjoy it as an occasional treat or balance it with lighter sides like a crisp garden salad.
