For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of sour cream. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat. Freshly grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese are highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil. To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
