Step-by-Step Instructions for White Garlic Pizza Sauce
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until it shimmers and begins to foam.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until it's fragrant and translucent.
  3. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to combine. Let the mixture cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream, continuing to stir until smooth.
  5. Increase the heat slightly and whisk the mixture until it comes to a gentle bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, mixing thoroughly.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  8. Let the sauce cool slightly before using.
