You can substitute regular cream cheese for the Laughing Cow wedges, if you prefer.
It's a good idea to reserve some of the pasta water to thin out the Alfredo sauce in case it becomes too thick. Alternatively, you could use some additional broth.
Season with some salt and pepper if desired.
Add a vegetable like steamed broccoli, asparagus, or spinach for extra nutrition.
Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
