Use full-fat cream, it keeps the sauce smooth and rich.

Add spinach at the end, cooking it too long can make it mushy.

Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, they add deeper flavor than the dry version.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth if needed.
