Connie says
I made this last evening and it was good. I was just disappointed that it wasn’t thicker or creamier. It was actually liquidy. It still was good.
Chrysa says
You’re correct. This is NOT intended to be a cream sauce (there is no cream or half and half in it to make it creamy). This is a garlic and oil style sauce.
Leabne says
Any luck with using non dairy milk?
Chrysa says
I haven’t tried it with non dairy milk but I think it would work as long as you use unsweetened.
