For an enhanced flavor, try browning the butter slightly before adding the shallots. If you prefer a smoother sauce, consider using heavy cream instead of chicken broth. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully. Goat cheese alternatives: feta, Parmesan, or ricotta salata.

Apr 8, 2025My zucchini ribbons were a little watery. Next time I'll try salting them beforehand to draw out some of the moisture.
