I add a splash of red wine vinegar towards the end because I love a good chimichurri sauce and it gives it a hint of that flavor. This is wonderful tossed in some gnocchi and topped with crumbled blues cheese and served with a filet. You can also add some regular cream and toss it with some cheese tortellini. Chef Bryce -
