    Can substitute penne pasta or gemelli pasta for fettuccine pasta.

    I used dried gemelli pasta, a full pound. I think you could use any pasta shape, although I would avoid rigatoni (too large) or tubetti (too small). However, I think 12 oz might have been a better quantity for the sauce. We ended up adding a lot of parmesan cheese, after using the full amounts of pasta water and creme fraiche. I added some blanched cauliflower in addition to the other vegetables. The flavor was very good. The creme fraiche, lemon, basil, and parmesan cheese make the dish.
