heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil.

9

Add cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes or until they begin to burst.

11

Cook the sauce until it reduces slightly, about 3 minutes.
