Add Some Heat: For a spicy twist, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce, or sprinkle them on top before baking.
Try Different Cheeses: Swap out the mozzarella for Monterey Jack, fontina, or provolone for a different flavor profile.
Use Other Proteins: While chicken is a classic choice, you can use cooked shrimp, bacon, or even sausage for a different take on the dish.
Make It Healthier: Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter sauce. You can also use whole-grain pasta or gluten-free pasta if desired.
Gluten-Free Option: Simply swap the pasta for a gluten-free variety and double-check that your other ingredients are gluten-free.
