🌿 Use fresh spinach and cook it before adding the cream for best texture and flavor.
🍷 Optionally add a splash of white wine after garlic and crushed pepper, reducing it by half before adding cream.
🍝 Double the sauce if serving with pasta and consider adding mushrooms, onions, or zucchini for extra depth.
