Served with steak. Sauce was fantastic! Doubled for enough and added a little bit of pasta water.
Thanks!

Fantastic base recipe! Served it over baked Nashville Style Hot Chicken. The Cream over the Spice was superb!

I tweaked the recipe to use what I had on hand. I DOUBLED the recipe and it made 2 cups sauce. I did NOT double the parsley as I thought 1/4 cup was sufficient. (I also think chives could be substituted for parsley - which I will try next time) I also used 1% milk. I almost made it with evaporated milk but I didn't want any leftover of that.

Though I had fresh garlic available, to save time I used jarred minced garlic. I will be using this tonight on a frenched zucchini, onion and mushroom side dish I made prior to making the sauce. The extra sauce I will use this throughout the week over steak and pork ribeye chops, as well.

I love garlic and this was flavorful and quite tasty. It tastes like it would make a great garlic bread topping or a sauce for dipping; Even a salad dressing. Kudos to its creator. Thank you Cooks.com

Sauce turned out beautifully - I'm rather insecure about sauces and was very pleased at the taste, appearance and ease. Served over shrimp with mushrooms, spinach and pasta.

Absolutely delicious! I used this sauce over Homemade Butternut Squash Ravioli. I doubled the recipe and added salt and pepper to taste. It was a family hit!
