Calories 118kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour (use rice flour to make it GF)
- 1 ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup (25g) grated parmesan cheese
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until it releases its flavor and browns a little bit.
- Add the flour mix. Cook for further 1-2 minutes, stirring often until the raw flavor of the flour has cooked off.
- Slowly, start pouring in the milk, while whisking constantly, until smooth and creamy. Don't stop whisking, or otherwise, clumps will form.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the parmesan cheese and remove the pot from the heat. Stir until the cheese has melted. Serve!
Notes
- Be careful not to burn the garlic. You want it to gently sizzle in the butter so that the garlic releases its flavor. If you burn the garlic, the sauce will be bitter and inedible.
- Cook on low heat. The base of this sauce is a mixture of butter, flour and milk also called a roux. If you burn the roux, there is no going back, so make sure not to cook it on high heat.
- Don't boil the sauce after adding the cheese. Sometimes the sauce can curdle at too high heat.
- Adjust the thickness as desired. The sauce thickens as it cools, but you can also thin it out by mixing in a few tablespoons of milk until you reach the desired consistency.
