Notes

Personally, I like to add a bit of lemon juice just before serving. It honestly transforms the whole dish by balancing out all that richness. If you’re serving this dish to your guests, garnish it with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs just before serving. It instantly makes it look restaurant-quality!
