Can I use chicken instead of steak?

Yes! Chicken breast or shrimp also work perfectly with this creamy sauce.

Can I make it lighter?

Use half-and-half instead of cream, or swap in olive oil for butter.

Cheese or spinach tortellini complement the garlic cream sauce best.

Absolutely, add red pepper flakes or a dash of Cajun seasoning for heat.
