Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Sauce

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon salted butter* (double all ingredients to serve with 1 pound pasta)
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

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).

QUICK AND EASY CREAM SAUCE



Quick and Easy Cream Sauce image

The title says it all. This is a base sauce that you can elaborate on in many different ways. You could add tomatoes, onions, prosciutto, etc. This time around I had some leftover pasta, and I wanted something fast. If you have time, it's nice to add chicken or shrimp. I have made this with shrimp before, and it was delicious. I will include that recipe after the sauce recipe.

  • In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. When hot, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Make sure not to burn the garlic.
  • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute or until lightly golden, stirring constantly. You want to cook it just long enough so it doesn’t taste like raw flour.
  • Gradually whisk in half and half. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. If any lumps form, just whisk them out. Simmer time will depend on multiple factors, one of them being the size of your pan. You basically want the sauce to cook just until thickened. Properly thickened sauce should coat the back of your spoon.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Remove pan from heat. Sauce is best when served immediately. It will thicken upon standing. See notes on serving suggestions.
