Notes
Preparation:
- For the garlic parmesan sauce, it’s important to get all of your items ready ahead of time so that the cooking goes smoothly.
- This keeps the ingredients from burning or cooking too much, so you can get the perfect creamy texture.
- Since this sauce is made from only a few simple ingredients, it’s important to season it while it’s cooking.
- Adding salt and pepper at different times makes the flavors better, so taste as you go to make sure you don’t add too much.
- Remember that the sauce will get thicker as it cools down while it’s cooking.
- Don’t worry if it looks too thin while it’s cooking; it will reach the right consistency when it’s done.
- If, on the other hand, the sauce is too thick, you can easily thin it out by adding a little broth or extra cream.
- If you are serving it with pasta, adding a little pasta water to thin the sauce is a wonderful way to make sure it coats the pasta perfectly.
- If you can’t eat certain foods (like lactose intolerance) or are watching how much rich and sweet food you eat, garlic parmesan sauce should be enjoyed in moderation.
- This sauce might not be beneficial for everyone’s diet because it has a lot of cheese and fat.
- To make it lighter without giving up too much taste, you could use lactose-free alternatives or cut down on the cheese.
- So, feel free to change the elements to suit your requirements!
- Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste or try different cheeses like Pecorino Romano for a unique twist.
- Keep the heat low to prevent curdling, and if the sauce thickens too much, simply whisk in more cream or milk until the desired consistency is reached.
