Note

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and color before serving.

If the sauce becomes too thick after sitting, add a little more chicken broth or water to loosen it up when reheating.

You can substitute the mafalda pasta with any other short pasta shape like penne or rotini if mafalda is unavailable.

For extra creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of butter or a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
