Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet Dry cream soup or white sauce mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and add the contents of the dry soup or white sauce mix packet.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until smooth.
Add the butter to the saucepan and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
Continue cooking the sauce while stirring constantly, allowing it to thicken, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Once the sauce thickens, reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and taste the sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, chicken, or vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
