This is a cream sauce that is usually served over grilled salmon, but I use it over veggies and/or pasta. Very easy to make, BUT very fattening!!

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions:
1. MELT butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic, and saute 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Add half-and-half and chicken broth.
3. Bring to a boil, and cook 8 minutes or until reduced by half.
4. WHISK together lemon juice and cornstarch until smooth.
5. Whisk lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into butter mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes or until thickened.
6. Remove from heat.
7. DO NOT ADD BASIL UNTIL READY TO SERVE.
