Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves - minced
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp Italian seasoning
¾ cup vegetable broth
1 ½ cups heavy cream - or half and half
8 oz grated parmesan cheese - fresh works best
¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter and minced garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir with the butter.
Add the broth and cook 1 minute until the sauce thickens.
Slowly stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper. Stir frequently until the cheese fully melts, about 2 minutes.

Recipe Notes:

I highly recommend using fresh parmesan for this recipe! You’ll want to shred it yourself.
Those pre-shredded bags of parmesan contain fillers that keep the cheese from clumping. This additive doesn’t melt well and you won’t get a smooth consistency.
Stay hands-on near the stove during the whole process. Stir frequently but slowly so that no ingredients burn.
Do not overheat the pan. If it’s too hot, fragile ingredients like the minced garlic, may start to burn.
You can all sorts of veggies to the pan. Mushrooms, peas, and corn are perfect and add a little color to the dish.
Serve this sauce with chicken breast, pork chops, pork tenderloin, roast beef, steak, salmon, or white fish.
Drizzle over rice, toss with pasta noodles, baked potatoes, wings, or fries!

Storing Leftovers:

Refrigerate – Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Water may start to separate from the sauce after 1 day. Simply stir while reheating.
Can I Freeze This? This sauce will not freeze well! The cream will separate and the liquid will turn grainy when it thaws. It’s best to use this sauce up within 3-4 days.
Reheat – You can reheat the leftovers in the microwave or over medium in a saucepan. Stir the sauce as it heats to keep it from burning.
