Notes
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
If you prefer thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid.
Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the sauce will be less rich.
Serve this dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to make a complete meal.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
