Happy to hear Elizabeth 🙂
OMG…. that’s all I gotta say about that….
Thanks 🙂
Really delicious!
Thanks for trying 🙂
My sauce didn’t thicken 🙁 I even added more Parmesan cheese and flour and it still has the same constancy as the milk! I’m not sure if it had to do with the temperature I set my burner too…would that make a difference? Or maybe I needed it to sit without stirring for longer? Help!
If the measurements are correct, the sauce will thicken. Flour is added for the very reason.
