Note

Since the original ingredients list included ambiguous items like "Chopped baby" and nutritional data as an ingredient, this recipe assumes a standard lemon cream base. "Chopped baby" likely refers to baby spinach, baby corn, or a similar garnish; adjust based on preference.

For a vegan version, substitute dairy cream with a high-fat coconut cream or cashew cream.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring frequently to prevent separation.

If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk, water, or pasta water. If too thin, simmer longer to reduce.
