Notes

  • Easily add a punch of flavor by adding black pepper to the recipe.
  • For a thinner sauce, add milk or cream 1 tablespoon at a time. For a thicker, more creamy sauce, reduce the amount of heavy cream or milk used and add either sour cream or cream cheese 1 ounce at a time.
  • Looking to spice it up? Add red pepper flakes or a pinch of white pepper or cayenne pepper.
  • Use a garlic press to create a creamier sauce.
  • Top the sauce with fresh parsley just before serving.
