筆記

• Serve on top of any starch: noodles, rice, potatoes, bread

• Can substitute cheese (softer like mozzarella for gooey, sticky sauce and hard cheese like parmesan or romano for creamy)

• Can substitute canned tomatoes for small cherry or grape tomatoes sliced in half

• Can substitute cream of chicken soup for the heavy cream

• adjust post-heavy-cream thickness with milk

• Swap out the water for water + bullion or chicken broth/stock for a richer flavor

• Use half a large yellow onion instead of onion powder for more substance. Also swap garlic powder for fresh garlic for more flavor.

• Always add in the garlic and onion at the same time, the spinach and tomatoes at the same time, and the heavy cream and the cheese at the same time

• If using onions and garlic, carmelize onions before adding the spinach and tomatoes

• Add the cheese right after pouring in the heavy cream. If the heavy cream has started cooking, the cheese may be harder to get incorporated and is at risk of settling and burning at the hottom during the simmer phase

• If the vegetables are cooking too fast, add a 1/4 -1/2 cup of water, stir, and allow the water to evaporate
