💡 Chef's tip

To make the sauce even creamier and more flavorful, make sure to cook it over low heat for a few minutes longer than usual, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking. The Maillard reaction that occurs during this slow cooking process is what gives the sauce that special and deep flavor.
