For an even richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, using about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried. Serve over a bed of creamy polenta or alongside roasted asparagus for a complete meal. For a gluten-free option, use a cornstarch slurry instead of flour to thicken the sauce.
