# Ingredients:
→ Sauce Base
01 -
4 cloves of garlic, minced finely
02 -
4 tablespoons melted butter (unsalted)
03 -
4 tablespoons standard flour
04 -
2 teaspoons dry Italian herbs
→ Liquid Elements
05 -
3/4 cup rich cream
06 -
2 cups of veggie broth
→ Finishing Components
07 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
08 -
A pinch of kosher salt
09 -
230g (8 oz) Parmesan cheese, grated fresh
10 -
Black pepper cracked fresh, as needed
# Instructions:
01 -
In a big pan, warm up the butter over medium-low heat until it's melted.
02 -
Throw in the garlic, dried herbs, a touch of salt, and cracked pepper. Let it cook for about a minute, just until it smells nice.
03 -
Sprinkle the flour over everything and whisk it in well. Keep cooking for a minute to get rid of the raw taste.
04 -
Pour in the vegetable broth bit by bit while whisking so lumps don’t show up.
05 -
On low heat, let it gently simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring, until the sauce clings lightly to your spoon.
06 -
Mix in the heavy cream, parsley, and the Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy.
07 -
Cook on low, giving it an occasional stir, until you’re happy with the thick texture. It should coat the spoon easily.
08 -
Taste it and tweak it with a little salt and some black pepper, if needed, just before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Use it with pasta, as a bread dip, or even poured over chicken. It’s super flexible!
02 -
For a thinner version, just stir in extra broth until you like the texture.
