Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk (warmed)
- 2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt, and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add in the minced garlic cloves and cook for just 1 minute.
- Once you’ve warmed the garlic, you can add in the flour. Use a whisk to combine the flour and the butter. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and just slightly darker than when you started.
- Next, warm the milk (you can do this while the flour is cooking). I just pour the milk into a microwave safe measuring cup and heat for 1 minute. It doesn’t need to be hot but just warmed.
- Add in 1/2 cup of the milk and whisk into the flour mixture until a dough forms. Keep adding milk 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth.
- Once you’ve added all of the milk, whisk continually until bubbly and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add in your parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Whisk together until smooth and serve over pasta immediately.
