Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Adjusting Garlic Flavor: If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or sauté it for a shorter time. For a more intense garlic flavor, add an extra clove or roast the garlic before adding it to the sauce.
- Creamy Consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out. If it’s too runny, let it simmer a bit longer to thicken.
- Serving Suggestions: For added texture and flavor, consider sprinkling some crispy bacon bits or toasted breadcrumbs over the finished dish.
