Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning for a kick
Instructions
1. Melt the butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
2. Sauté the garlic
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
3. Create the roux
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute to form a smooth paste.
4. Add the milk
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking, ensuring no lumps remain. Continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken—about 3–5 minutes.
5. Finish with cheese and seasoning
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is velvety.
6. Serve or store
Use immediately as a pizza base or let cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
-
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
