For a healthier version: Substitute the whipping cream with 1 cup low fat milk. To thicken the sauce, put 3 T. of corn starch or flour in a cup and add 1/2 cup water. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Slowly add a small portion at a time to the simmering sauce. Stir and continue adding the thickening agent until the right consistency is reached.
