Ingredients
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk (skim may be used, but creates a thinner sauce)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 dash pepper
Preparation
Step 1
The key here is patience, add all ingredients gradually!
Melt butter in sauce pan on stove top with medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour. This will create a yellow paste.
Step 2
Gradually add milk, whisking until incorporated and no lumps are present. Continue to whisk until hot (usually 3-5 minutes). The longer you cook the base (without the cheese) the thicker the sauce will be.
Step 3
Add parmesan slowly, again whisking until incorporated. Add crushed garlic and pepper.
Step 4
Cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
