Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp (45g) Unsalted Butter For the fat base
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic Finely minced
  • 3 tbsp (25g) All-Purpose Flour Thickening agent
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Heavy Cream For velvety texture
  • 1 cup (240ml) Whole Milk To reach spreadable consistency
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Grated Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated preferred
  • 1 tsp (1g) Dried Oregano Flakes For visible flecks
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) Cracked Black Pepper Visual and flavor contrast
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Sea Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh Parsley Finely chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Bottomed Saucepan Prevents scorching
  • 1 Fine-wire whisk Ensures a lump-free texture

Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 60-90 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, creating a thick paste.
  3. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk. Continue whisking over medium heat until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until cheese is melted and smooth. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Keep heat low to avoid curdling the dairy.
Use a whisk constantly for the smoothest possible finish.
