Preparing this dish is as easy as pie. You’ll start by sautéing aromatics like garlic and onions to create a fragrant base that’s simply irresistible.

And for the pièce de résistance, a creamy sauce ties it all together, ensuring every bite is a taste of pure bliss. Why do we call it the ZZZ Sanity Dish? Because it’s the kind of meal that makes you feel so good, you might just find yourself drifting off into a peaceful, contented nap afterward.
The final step is plating your masterpiece. Serve generous portions in bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese, depending on your preference. Grab a glass of something refreshing, and you’re ready to dive in. Don’t worry about any leftovers; they have a sneaky way of disappearing before you know it. Just remember, friends don’t let friends eat alone, so invite someone special over to share this deliciousness with you. And if they ask for the recipe, just tell them it’s ‘top secret’—it’ll keep them coming back for more!
