For an extra layer of flavor, try adding toasted pine nuts or walnuts. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten up the dish. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta, such as farfalle or rotini. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder can be used as a substitute.
