  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you would like more spice, add 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
  • tip 2
    Remove the ribs of the jalapeño chile when you remove seeds to reduce the heat.
  • tip 3
    If desired, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water when draining, and stir some in when tossing the pasta if more liquid is needed.
