For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce just before serving. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or rice pilaf for a complete and satisfying meal. To prevent the garlic from burning, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the pan along with the olive oil.
