  • Cook Pasta Al Dente: Cooking pasta al dente gives it a perfect firm texture.
  • Try Grilled Chicken: Grilling the chicken adds a smoky, rich taste.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: Add more or fewer jalapeños based on your spice preference.
  • Use Heavy Cream: Heavy cream makes the sauce thick and creamy.
