Notes
Use fresh garlic for the most vibrant flavor and include a small amount of garlic powder to round out the profile
If you prefer a slightly richer sauce allow the cream to reduce a little longer over low heat before adding the cornstarch slurry
Stir the cornstarch thoroughly into water before adding to the pan to avoid clumps and add it slowly while stirring
The sauce will thicken as it cools to reheat gently over low heat adding a splash of water or a little more cream to loosen it if necessary
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to three days do not freeze as the texture may change when thawed
