This was my first time making polka dot sauce, and it was surprisingly easy. The sauce was delicious and the broccoli and green beans were cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy at all. It was more like a thick paste.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added spices or herbs.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family. The sauce was so good that we even used it as a dip for our bread.
