Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (pressed or finely-minced)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk (I used 2% milk)
  • 1 cup (1 1/2 ounces) freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • pinch white pepper
  • pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and sauté for 1 minute more, stirring frequently.
  • Add in the heavy cream and milk and whisk until evenly combined.
  • Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. Add in the Parmesan, salt, white pepper and nutmeg, and whisk until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Taste and season with extra salt and/or white pepper, if needed.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
