Notes

  • Cheese: You can use a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella for a creamier texture, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Gouda or cheddar.
  • Peas: If you prefer fresh peas, use them in place of frozen. Just make sure they’re cooked until tender before adding to the sauce.
  • Broth: You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version of the dish.
