    I used some toasted garlic I had instead of minced & whipped cream since I only had 2% milk was absolutely amazing

    This sauce came out so flavourful and silky smooth, it was as though an angel had come down to earth and blessed my pan with the perfect ratios of ingredients and the correct method to cook them together. Pasta in heaven must come drizzled with this divine sauce. 10/10. I can’t wait to make this again and impress my girlfriend

    This is soo good omg! I didn’t have any chicken broth or stock whatever was called for, I used water and it turned out amazing! 10/10

  5. 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!
