❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Parmesan Garlic Cream Sauce
1. Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?
You can use whole milk, but the sauce will be thinner and less rich. For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold milk and add it to the sauce while simmering.
2. How do I store leftover parmesan garlic cream sauce?
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore the consistency.
3. Can I make this sauce dairy free?
Yes, you can use a dairy free butter substitute and full fat coconut cream or a dairy free heavy cream alternative. Use a high quality dairy free parmesan style cheese.
4. Why did my sauce turn out grainy?
Grainy sauce usually happens when the heat is too high or when using pre shredded parmesan which contains anti caking agents. Always use freshly grated parmesan and keep the heat on low when adding the cheese.
5. What can I serve this sauce with?
This sauce is wonderful on fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti. It also pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, shrimp, or steamed vegetables like broccoli and asparagus.
