Like someone once said if you are on a diet this is not recommended. Some people like to add garlic to this that is fine I do not to me this is a sauce about cream. If you like to add garlic just saute it at the beginning on a very low heat. Read more I do sometimes add pancetta. The pancetta is rendered at the beginning and I adjust the butter amount slightly less to compensate for the rendered oil from the pancetta. You add the pancetta bits at the very end and garnish."
