Notes
Subs: Use half and half or heavy cream instead of whole milk for a creamier sauce. Mix things up with fresh or dried herbs such as parsley or chives.
Storage: The sauce does thicken up a fair bit if not used straight away. You can store leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and blend it again with some extra milk to loosen it up. However, for the best result, I recommend making it fresh.
