- Use only fresh garlic for this recipe! Pre-minced garlic won’t have as much flavor.
- Honey tends to burn easily, so keep a close eye on it while cooking.
- Add more water if the sauce dries out quickly.
- The right amount of butter is key! Too much will make the sauce greasy, and too little won’t give it enough richness.
- Simmer the sauce until it’s thick and slightly glossy. It should only take a couple of minutes.
