Notes

  1. Lighten Up! For a lighter sauce, use half and half instead of heavy cream. 
  2. Mas or Menos- It’s Up To You: If desired, start with 2 tablespoons of honey and add more honey to taste. I liked it sweeter and used 3 tablespoons of honey.
  3. Optional: Garnish with minced parsley for a beautiful presentation.
