Reply to comment by Wyze_acre in [Homemade] Chickpeas and green chilies and cilantro with cheese sauce - instead of macaroni. by Wyze_acre

A sauce “breaking” is just the sauce separating into two components rather than being one cohesive liquid. Generally the fats or water will separate, giving you an oily mess rather than a typical sauce. Can be fixed by adding a bit more liquid if it isn’t completely broken though! A little water or even an ice cube can save a sauce from the brink!

Thanks. I figured from context it might be something like that. Thoughtful that you took the time to reply and explain. 🙂
