A chef at a little Italian restaurant I loved in Cambridge Mass let me in on a little secret to his fabulous Al Fredo sauce. Adding an egg yolk to it. Gotta cool the sauce down first or temper the egg or it will cook too fast. Really adds a nice rich dimension to it. Tho' I've never heard using using any garlic cloves and always freshly grated, Parmigiano-Reggiano—the best of the best parms.
