Notes

🌱 **Vegan Option**: Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk to make this recipe vegan. 📦 **Storage**: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or milk. 🔥 **Reheating**: Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of broth or milk if the sauce has thickened too much. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling. ⏰ **Make Ahead**: You can prepare the ingredients in advance and cook when ready to serve. 🍽️ **Serving**: This dish is complete on its own, but pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread. 🔄 **Substitutions**: Feel free to swap vegetables based on what you have on hand. Herbs can be substituted with dried versions (use 1/3 the amount).
