Serving Suggestions

- Pair with a simple green salad
- Add roasted vegetables on the side
Tips for Best Results
- Use freshly grated Parmesan (not pre-shredded) for a smoother sauce
- Don’t boil the cream—keep heat low to avoid curdling
- Smoked sausage adds extra depth, but chicken or turkey sausage works too
If you want:
