Instructions
- Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook it for a minute or so.
- Whisk in the half-and-half and garlic powder.
- Stir in the peas. Once they start to bubble, turn the heat down (don't let them rapidly boil).
- Simmer the peas, uncovered, until the cream has thickened up to your liking. Keep an eye on them, and stir them occasionally (this can take around 15-20 minutes). Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken up a bit more as they cool. If the sauce gets too thick at any point, add in a splash more half-and-half.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with both).
Notes
- You may use heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
