For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of olive oil. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors even more. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Consider adding toasted pine nuts for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
