Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk (warm)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Cook the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Make the Roux: Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously to create a smooth paste.
4. Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2–3 minutes.
5. Season the Sauce: Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the sauce cool slightly before spreading it over your pizza crust or serving as a dipping sauce. Enjoy the rich, garlicky flavor.
