Baking

- Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it’s lightly golden.
- Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in additional Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Serving

Notes
You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the pillows. For a healthier version, use whole wheat or gluten-free dough.
