How can I adjust the spice level?

Easy! Start with half the Cajun seasoning if you're sensitive to heat. You can always add more at the end. For extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.

What pasta works best besides twisted shapes?

Any short pasta with nooks will do - penne, farfalle, or shells are great. Just avoid long noodles like spaghetti - they won't hold the sauce the same way.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Swap butter for olive oil, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and try nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan. The flavor changes slightly, but it's still delicious.

Why does my sauce sometimes look grainy?

That usually means the heat was too high when adding Parmesan. Keep the flame low and stir constantly - and always use freshly grated cheese for smoothest results.
