Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 5 cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Milk or heavy cream for a richer sauce
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • 1 Small Saucepan
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the garlic butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce simmers and thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Use immediately on your favorite pizza or store for later.
