- Return the saucepan to medium-low heat.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).

- For extra flavor, stir in 1/2 cup of sautéed chopped celery and/or 1/2 cup of sautéed chopped mushrooms before serving.
