Yes, you can use frozen artichoke hearts. Just thaw them first and drain any excess water before adding them to the skillet.

2. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Yes, you can substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use a dairy-free Parmesan alternative. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

4. What can I serve with this dish?

This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. A simple green salad on the side is also a great option.
