For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the minced garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil before adding it to the sauce. Neufchatel cheese is key to achieving the creamy texture while keeping the fat content low. Do not substitute with full-fat cream cheese. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and minced garlic according to your preference. Taste and season as you go. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt more smoothly and provide a richer flavor than pre-grated options.
