MASTER RECIPE: PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Gather your ingredients.
• 3. Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
• 4. If you are not using clarified butter, wait until the foaming subsides.
• 5. Add the flour.
• 6. Whisk until completely incorporated, about 1 quick minute.
• 7. Chef's Note: Adding fat and flour together creates a roux. There are different stages of a roux; the longer your cook it, the browner it gets, and the nuttier it tastes. We want a light roux... no browning. So, 1 minute on the heat is about all you want.
• 8. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock.
• 9. Chef's Tip: Do not use hot chicken stock, or you will get lumps in your sauce.
• 10. Continue to whisk until completely smooth.
• 11. Add the cream.
• 12. Stir to incorporate, about 1 minute.
• 13. Chef's Note: At this point, season with salt and pepper.
• 14. Chef's Note: We are using white pepper, because we don't want to see little black flakes in the sauce. In addition, white pepper is milder than black pepper, so adjust your seasoning accordingly.
• 15. Continue to cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes.
• 16. Add the Parmesan
• 17. Stir until incorporated, about 1 minute.
• 18. Chef's Note: If the sauce is too thick, add more cream or chicken stock, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
• 19. Chef's Tip: If you are making this sauce ahead of time, put a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap over the sauce while it cools to prevent a skin from forming.
• 20. VARIATIONS ON A THEME
• 21. FOR FISH AND CHICKEN: Add about 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme and oregano and 1 or 2 baked/mined cloves of garlic.
• 22. A VEGGIE DIP: Use the same variations for fish and chicken, but melt about 2 ounces of cream cheese into the sauce.
• 23. PASTA: Use the master recipe without variations over most pasta.
• 24. PASTA VARIATION: Skin, seed, and chop one large plum tomato add a tablespoon of chopped basil, and serve over pasta.
• 25. Chef's Note: When I use garlic in a sauce, I like to bake the garlic first. Place the garlic cloves on a piece of parchment paper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Pull the ends of the parchment paper together and twist together, like a beggar's pouch. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow it to cool. Add a few pinches of salt, and then mash into a paste with the flat side of your kitchen knife.
• 26. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CREAMY PARMESAN CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Microwave cream cheese, milk and parmesan cheese in 1-quart microwave safe container.
• Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 6-8 minutes or until sauce is smooth, stirring every 2 minutes.
• Stir in seasonings.
• Toss with hot cooked pasta or serve over cooked veggies.
• You may want to add some garlic, extra pepper, or other spices because this is a very mild cheese sauce. I have used a couple of cloves of garlic sauted in a little butter, when I cook it on the stove, and really like it that way also.

PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

EASY PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE (10 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• Measure out all ingredients in advance; the cooking process happens fast! If serving with pasta, cook 8 ounces pasta while you make the sauce.
• In a small or medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the grated garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
• Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute to 90 seconds, until bubbly and golden. Do not overcook it: the flour can turn brown within a few seconds. Keep an eye on it!
• Add a splash of milk and whisk it in: the sauce will instantly turn chunky. Constantly whisking, continue to add splashes of milk and whisk them in until the entire quantity is incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
• Reduce the heat and whisk until the sauce thickens and no longer tastes like raw flour, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and Parmesan cheese. Taste and add a pinch or two more salt if desired.
• If serving with pasta, drain the pasta, then add the sauce. Add a splash or two of milk to loosen the sauce and come to just the right creamy consistency. Taste and a few more pinches of salt, if necessary. (The sauce is best freshly made, so we don't recommend making it in advance).

PARMESAN CREAM

• Heat Parmesan rinds and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbles form around the edge. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, about 45 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
