Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken further.

Step 6

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm over pasta, seafood, vegetables, or chicken.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
