Notes

🌱 **Vegan Option**: Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version. 📦 **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**: Serve over rice, pasta, quinoa, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. 🔄 **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).
