For an extra rich flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your preference. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. This sauce is best served immediately, as it will thicken over time. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore the desired consistency.
