Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan and whisk continuously for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid 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 Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
If desired, stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately as a drizzle over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or pasta. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
