White Cream Sauce

Step 1

In a sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add flour and whisk constantly for about 30 seconds until a paste forms (called a roux).

Step 2

Slowly add the milk, being careful not to burn the roux. Whisk constantly until it becomes thick, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Remove from heat immediately and add to cooked chicken, pasta, fish, or vegetables.
