The key to cooking this delicious creamy sauce is to add the ingredients in the right order and keep the stirring gently and consistent so that you have the perfect creamy texture. If you don't follow the directions to the recipe, the sauce could separate, which isn't what you want. Creamy sauces can be tricky for that reason sometimes. The garlic in this recipe is heavy duty and makes for a great pairing with the creaminess of the sauce that goes with it. Eating garlic with your meal is a great way to increase your health benefits and overall quality of life. Garlic should always be paired with heavy foods that are high in saturated fats to offset the bad effects of saturated fats on your heart and blood vessels. Garlic is cardioprotective meaning it helps your heart. You can increase the health benefits you receive from garlic by letting it sit after you've chopped it or crushed it. If you give your chopped/crushed garlic time to sit before changing its temperature, through cooking or its pH through the addition of acidic food like lemon juice, it will give the alliinase enzymes a chance to be more prevalent.

We all love to eat garlic, but what about that smell on your hands after having cut 5 or 6 cloves of these little guys? If you have a stainless steel sink, than a brilliant little tip is simply to run your fingers along the steel in and up and down vigorous motion and the smell will be removed! Another great tip on how to peel a lot of garlic very easily is to put the garlic cloves in a jar and shake them vigorously, the peels should just come right off! Another way is to press down on the cloves of garlic firmly with a flat surface like a plate or a bowl. Then it is really easy to just pull off the peel. Don't you just love these little kitchen tips that are so easy and that actually work!?
