 Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use milk instead of cream?

 Yes, but sauce will be thinner and less creamy. Heavy cream or cream cheese gives best texture.

Q2: Can I make it keto-friendly?

 Yes, it is already keto-friendly (very low carb).

Q3: Can I add other vegetables?

 Yes! Try:

• zucchini
• bell peppers
• broccoli

Q4: Can I meal prep this?

 Absolutely. It stays good 3 days in fridge and reheats well.

Q5: Can I cook without oven?

 Yes. After mixing, just cover and cook on low flame for 10–15 min until cheese melts.

 Pro Tip (for best taste)

Let it rest 5 minutes after baking → sauce thickens and flavor becomes richer.
