Will the Greek yogurt curdle?

Your yogurt won’t curdle if you remove the pan from heat before stirring it in, and ensure the sauce is well tempered—add a spoonful of warm sauce into the yogurt first, then toss everything back in.

Can I use plain yogurt substitutes?

Yes—you can use crème fraîche or sour cream, though they may increase calorie count slightly. For dairy-free diets, try unsweetened coconut yogurt or cashew cream.

How long does the leftovers stay good?

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, leftovers last 3–4 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of broth or milk if the sauce thickens up.
