For an even richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of heavy cream at the end. A pinch of nutmeg can add a subtle warmth to the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little extra milk or water to reach your desired consistency. This sauce is excellent with various pasta shapes, vegetables, and proteins. Try it with shrimp, chicken, or asparagus. The chicken bouillon cube can be replaced with equal amount of chicken broth.
