Notes
Substitutions & Variations
- Not Dairy Free - Use dairy butter in place of vegan butter, in the same measure.
- More Veggies - Although I haven't tried it, I think this dish would be awesome with broccoli or green beans added in. It would make a full meal in one pan.
- Make it Spicy - My family loves spicy food, so we usually add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to heat things up.
- Make it Cheesy - Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese along with the parsley to add a little cheesy flavor. It's a perfect compliment to the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
