📝 Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
4–5 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
1 cup milk (or half-and-half for a richer version)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but recommended)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, or a splash of lemon juice for brightness
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Sauté the Garlic
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant—but not browned. Stir continuously to avoid burning.
2. Make the Roux
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute. This creates a thick base (roux) that will help the sauce stay creamy and smooth.
3. Add the Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce begins to thicken—about 3–5 minutes.
4. Season & Finish
Stir in Parmesan cheese (if using) and season with salt, pepper, and any optional add-ins like red pepper flakes or fresh herbs. Let it simmer for another minute or two until silky and well-blended.
5. Serve Warm
Use immediately, or store in a jar for later. This sauce thickens as it cools but reheats beautifully with a splash of milk.
