I didn't see the amount of garlic to be used so checked the epicurious website and added 3 cloves of garlic in step one. I used half and half, so my sauce wasn't quite as thick as it would have been had I used cream. Nonetheless, I loved this and it disappeared quickly with requests that it be made again.
