🧈 Always use full fat heavy cream to keep the sauce from splitting during slow cooking.
🌿 Add the spinach only at the very end so it stays bright green and never turns mushy.
🔥 To thicken the sauce further, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water) during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking.
