# Ingredients:
For the sauce
01 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
02 -
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
03 -
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
04 -
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 -
3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until foamy but not browned.
02 -
Add the minced garlic and stir for 30-45 seconds, just until fragrant. Lower the heat if the garlic starts to color.
03 -
Whisk in the flour and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, so the flour tastes toasted rather than raw.
04 -
Slowly whisk in the milk a few tablespoons at a time until smooth, then whisk in the cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
05 -
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, salt, and pepper until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust salt before using on pizza.
