5. Serve in bowls or plates and garnish with flat-leaf parsley, cracked black pepper and parmesan cheese. Dig in. 

Recipe Notes -

This dish is best eaten fresh as cream based sauce can potentially split upon reheating. If you did wish to store it, it will last 2 days in the fridge. I don’t recommend freezing it. 

This recipe is amazing on its own but can also be served with all of your favourite sides such as mashed potato, pasta, rice and a wide range of different vegetables. 

The fresh herbs are optional as well as the parmesan cheese but add incredible flavour. If you can’t source fresh herbs they can be substituted for their dried counterparts. Use 1 tsp of dried parsley and 1/4 tsp of dried tarragon. The tarragon can easily overpower the dish if used too much. You can always add but can’t take out so adjust to your liking. 

Cream alternatives will no longer make this dish the amazing recipe that it is. Without cream, you’ll need to add flour as a thickening agent which will ruin the texture of the sauce.
