Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux. This helps cook out the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Step 4
Keep cooking the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dish. If the sauce thickens too much as it cools, whisk in a splash of milk to loosen it back up.
