Tips:
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk, add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or use chicken broth instead of water.
- To make the sauce thicker, simmer it for a longer period of time or add a cornstarch slurry. For a thinner sauce, add more milk or water.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder, or use fresh herbs like basil or thyme.
- To prevent the sauce from curdling, add the cream or milk slowly and whisk constantly. If the sauce does curdle, remove it from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of cold butter.
- Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, chicken, or fish. You can also use it as a dip for bread or crackers.
