Chef's Note
"The key to perfect garlic cream sauce is patience - don't rush the garlic or let it brown, as this will make the sauce bitter. For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. This versatile sauce transforms simple grilled chicken or steamed vegetables into restaurant-quality dishes."
