Chef's Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the roasted tomatoes.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or Greek yogurt, but the texture will be slightly different.
Make the roasted tomatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat them slightly before serving.
