Equipment
- Large non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 4 grated garlic cloves
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups half and half
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley 1-2 tablespoons, or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 4 Tablespoons butter over medium heat, then add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir constantly so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add in 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour, stirring, and cook for about 1 minute, until lightly browned. Stir frequently. Whisk in 2 cups half and half gradually and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes - keep stirring now and then. Whisk out any lumps that form. Cook the sauce just until it thickens. When it thickly coats the back of a spoon, it's ready.
- Stir in ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese and 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, then remove pan from heat. Serve immediately for best results. It will thicken further off heat.
Notes
- Stir frequently throughout the cooking process. You don't want the garlic to burn or the sauce to become lumpy.
- Cook the sauce just until it thickens. When it thickly coats the back of a spoon, it's ready.
- Serve immediately for best results. It will thicken further off heat.
