Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or parsley for an extra touch of freshness (Optional).
For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but be mindful that the sauce may not thicken as much.
A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the dish.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or water to reach the desired consistency.
Fresh peas can be substituted for frozen, but may require a slightly longer cooking time.
Consider adding some crispy bacon bits for a savory twist.
This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or as part of a vegetarian meal alongside mashed potatoes.
