Using low-fat milk will change the texture and creaminess of the sauce. Heavy cream is best for achieving that creamy consistency.

2. How can I make this sauce dairy-free?
You can substitute heavy cream with a non-dairy cream alternative and the Parmesan cheese with a vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.

3. Can I freeze the creamy garlic sauce?
Yes, you can freeze the sauce. Just be aware that the texture may change slightly when thawed. Make sure to reheat slowly and stir well.
