Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Make sure it doesn’t brown.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, continuing to whisk constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it has fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the roomsaus immediately over your choice of dish, or let it cool for later use. If reheating, do so gently, adding a splash of milk if needed to adjust the consistency.
