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

I would give this recipe 5 stars, but I found the sauce to be a bit too salty. Next time I'll use less salt.

The sauce was a little too heavy for my taste. I would probably use less cream next time.
