Pro Tips
- Cream Cheese Tip: Soften the cream cheese before adding it to the sauce to ensure it melts smoothly.
- Sauce Thickening: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add Veggies: Stir in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
