Step-by-Step Instructions for White Garlic Pizza Sauce
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour evenly over the sautéed garlic and stir well to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
  4. Keep the sauce over medium heat, whisking continuously for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
  6. Let the sauce cool slightly for 3-5 minutes before using it.
