I’m offering this recipe with a proviso; anyone who asks me how to substitute the butter or cream with a healthier alternative will receive the following response: find another recipe for that night, because this dish is meant to be rich and will only work if no substitutions are made. I use 35% cream and take my time as I’m eating, savouring each bite to make the pleasure last as long as possible. This is the kind of dish where you end up soaking up every last bit of sauce with your bread. To me, happiness and balance are about letting yourself eat what you want, while being reasonable with portions. Modifying the recipe isn’t an option, so I say “Bring on the cream!”
