Creamy Garlic Sauce (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base for the Sauce
01 -
Grated Parmesan cheese
02 -
Minced fresh garlic cloves
03 -
Salted or unsalted butter
04 -
Heavy cream or milk (to make it richer)
05 -
Plain all-purpose flour
06 -
Optional parsley for topping
07 -
Cracked black pepper
08 -
Pinch of salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Drop the butter into a medium-sized pan and let it melt slowly on medium heat.
02 -
Toss the minced garlic into the pan and stir it around for a minute or two, just until it smells good. Take care not to let it burn.
03 -
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic, then whisk constantly for about a minute so it blends into a paste.
04 -
Add the milk gradually, whisking as you go to keep it smooth without lumps. Let it bubble gently and stir until it thickens, which should take 3 to 5 minutes.
05 -
Add the Parmesan cheese and mix until everything comes together into a creamy sauce.
06 -
Throw in some salt and pepper, tasting as you go. Use this as a topping for pizza, a dipping sauce, or whatever you'd like. Sprinkle parsley if you'd like a fresh touch.
# Notes:
01 -
Whether for dipping, a base layer for pizza, or drizzling on top, you can adjust the thickness by mixing in extra milk to get the consistency you want.
