Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 60-90 seconds until pale gold and fragrant, ensuring it does not brown.
  3. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly; simmer until the liquid bubbles gently and thickens into a smooth cream consistency.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is velvety and glossy.
  6. Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley just before removing from heat.
