2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I swear by using high-quality Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for the best flavor.
Don’t skimp on the garlic – it makes all the difference!
For a keto-friendly option, I substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt and reduce Parmesan to 1/4 cup (60g).
