 ALFREDO SAUCE

Ingredients

- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

- 1 tbsp butter

- 1 tbsp all purpose flour or tapioca flour

- 3/4 cup heavy cream

- 1 1/4 cup whole milk

- 1 cup shaved or grated Parmesan

- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic

- 1 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Set medium pot on low heat. Melt butter and add garlic to sauté. Just as garlic begin to brown, whisk in flour. Continue stirring to thoroughly cook the roux.

2. In a medium bowl, stir in cream and milk to combine. Dribble 1/4 cup of cream mixture into pot and continue whisking. As it begins to thicken, dribble in more of the cream mixture about 1/4 cup at a time and continue whisking. Slowly raise the heat a bit at a time and continue whisking in the remainder of the cream mixture. Slowly combining the liquid with the roux will help thicken the bechamel. Do not raise heat beyond medium.

3. As the bechamel simmers, slowly add Parmesan a handful at a time and whisk until combined.

4. Add Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, ground pepper, and salt.

5. Serve with pasta of your choice. Enjoy!
