Ingredients

Scale

White Garlic Pizza Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated


Instructions

  1. 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 thicken your sauce.
  2. Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream to the roux, making sure to combine thoroughly and avoid any lumps, creating a smooth base.
  3. Season the Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes as the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated, giving the sauce a rich, cheesy flavor.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, add a little extra milk until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid curdling.
  • Adjust garlic amounts according to taste preference.
