Notes

If your child doesn't like visible pieces of onion, grate it instead of chopping it — it will dissolve in the sauce.

  • For a lactose-free version, replace the cream with coconut cream or an 18% vegetable alternative.
  • The sauce is great for freezing — make a larger portion of just the sauce with chicken and reheat with freshly cooked pasta.
