Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Continue cooking, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- Cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before spreading on pizza dough.
Notes
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before using.
- Great for white pizzas with toppings like spinach, mushrooms, chicken, or artichokes.
