The only change I made was that I added 1/4 of a block of cream cheese. It helped thicken it. This was very delicious. Read More

Eh, this sauce was just okay. I added a little cheese but otherwise followed the recipe. It was pretty bland. Read More

I tried 2 ways! Using all fresh ingredients, using all dried ingredients. (Garlic, oregano, basil, parsley) In my own opinion I liked the dried ingredients better it offered a stronger taste then the fresh did. And it’s an amazing sauce to cook pork chops in BUT! both ways taste amazing. The fresh is a bit more expensive depending where you get it all from, the dried is less and can be used more. Will definitely be making it again! Read More

I made this sauce following the recipe exactly. It never seemed to thicken up. I wound up having to add Wondra to it a TBS at a time for it to thicken up. I must agree with the other reviewer that said this was very bland. The addition of garlic powder, additional salt on top of the salted butter, and pepper finally gave it a flavor boost. I'd make it again but add at least another two TBS of fresh garlic to it as a starting point. Read More

I opted to replace half the butter with bacon fat and added two strips of cooked chopped bacon while the sauce was thickening. I served it over Rana's chicken and mozzarella tortellini, my family LOVED! Read More
