Notes

  • Ground turkey can be substituted for a lighter option.
  • Add mushrooms for extra depth of flavor.
  • For extra cheesiness, top with provolone and broil briefly.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
  • Can be frozen, though sauce texture may slightly change upon reheating.
