Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite pizza for dipping.
