Roasted garlic Parmesan sauce

One of the simplest sauces you’ll ever make. It’s smooth, light and finger licking good! It’s not too buttery or dense. This easy to make garlic Parmesan white sauce is made starting with roux – butter & flour. Roux is thickener for creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.

Add seasonings, milk, cheese and little heavy cream in the end. This creamy garlic Parmesan sauce continues to thicken as you stir and cook further. It thickens really fast as it sits as well. So remove the sauce off the stove even BEFORE it reaches the desired consistency.

Does this mean you have to make the sauce and use it immediately? Absolutely NOT! This garlic Parmesan white sauce can be made ahead of time, and stored in fridge or frozen for longer storage.

Reheat sauce and thin it with milk or stock and use it to toss with pasta or as dipping sauce.

How to roast garlic

Method 1 :

I alwaysprefer to roast whole garlic packed in aluminium foil in oven. Drizzle oliveoil and sprinkle salt over garlic, pack whole garlic head in aluminium foil androast in pre-heated oven at 350 F for 25-35 minutes.

For Parmesan sauce I prefer to roast garlic just about. Not roast them brown. When roasted for longer, garlic begins to turn brown and caramelize. Which it’s great with other dishes, for creamy garlic Parmesan sauce I like to roast to the point it begins to brown so it doesn’t change the color of this cheese sauce.

Removeroasted garlic from oven. Let it cool down a bit. Separate each garlic cloveand squeeze it holding the tip. Garlic comes out off the peel easily. If itdoesn’t come off peel by squeezing, simply hold the peel and pull if off.

Roasted garlic can be stored in fridge for about a week and use it in any dish you want.

Method 2 :

Alternativelyyou can peel garlic and put them in small baking ramekins. Pour olive oil overgarlic. Cover the ramekin with aluminium foil. Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 Ffor about 20-25 minutes.

Remove ramekin from oven, let it cool down little. Remove garlic from olive oil, mash/finely chop it. Use in your favorite dish.
