If you are not a garlic-lover then omit completely, the garlic and Parmesan cheese are only optional, I also like to add in a pinch of cayenne pepper, this sauce may be used for many recipes, it makes a wonderful spaghetti carbonara :) Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
3 garlic cloves, minced (can use more) |
4 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1 pinch nutmeg |
3 cups half-and-half cream (or use half cream and full-fat milk) |
1/3-1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste) or 1/2 teaspoon white salt (or to taste) |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add in fresh garlic (if using) saute for 2 minutes.
3. Add in flour and nutmeg; stir for 2 minutes.
4. Slowly add in half and half cream; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
6. Mix in the Parmesan cheese (if using).
7. Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
