Recipe View Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, grilled vegetables, or protein. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable bouillon granules for the chicken bouillon.
A splash of dry white wine after caramelizing the onions adds another layer of complexity to the sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added during the caramelization process for an aromatic twist.
