For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is the perfect finishing touch. Stir some into the sauce before serving for extra cheesy goodness! Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for a brighter, more complex flavor. This sauce is also delicious with grilled chicken or shrimp. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out. Adjust the amount of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your liking.
