Servings: 9 servings (about 2 ¼ cups)
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a medium saucepan to medium high heat. Melt butter in the pan. Add garlic, stirring and cooking until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium and whisk in flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper until a thick texture like paste forms. You can start with less salt and adjust to taste while cooking the sauce.
- Increase heat to medium high, gradually whisking in heavy cream and broth until smooth. Bring to a low simmer, cooking until sauce thickens, about 2-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, stirring in Parmesan. Stir until cheese melts and sauce becomes smooth.
- Remove from heat, add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over cooked pasta, as a dip with appetizers like french fries, onion rings, or potato wedges, coat chicken wings, or on top of veggies like brussels sprouts.
