Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux. This helps cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Keep cooking the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, until fully melted and incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dish. If the sauce thickens too much as it cools, whisk in a splash of milk to loosen it back up.
