Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
Liquids
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Flavorings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Make the Roux: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux, which is a thick paste that will serve as the base for the sauce.
- Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps remain. This step helps to create a smooth and creamy texture for the sauce.
- Season the Sauce: Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency while infusing it with garlic flavor.
- Finish the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined, adding a rich and cheesy finish to the sauce.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, cook the roux slightly longer before adding liquids.
- Adjust garlic amount based on your preference for stronger or milder garlic flavor.
- This sauce can be used immediately or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Warm the sauce gently before use if refrigerated, to restore creamy texture.
