ALFREDO SAUCE

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups milk

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Be careful not to let it brown.

  2. Add the minced garlic and cook it until soft, about one minute.

  3. Mix in half of the flour and stir well to combine. Follow this by adding the remaining flour for a smooth texture.

  4. Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring; this helps thicken the sauce nicely.

  5. Season your sauce with kosher salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary!

  6. Finally, add the shredded parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and your sauce is creamy and smooth.
