Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of noodle for this recipe?

You can add Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard for a tangy kick. A splash of red wine while simmering can deepen the flavor profile. Fresh herbs like thyme or tarragon can also elevate this dish, making it even more aromatic and delicious.
