Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free pasta
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 medium Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the garlic and stir continuously to form a smooth paste.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the heavy cream and continue to stir until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and stir well to combine the flavors.
Toss the cooked gluten-free pasta in the white sauce until the pasta is fully coated.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving. Serve immediately for the best taste.
