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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
