Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan set over medium-low heat and then sprinkle in flour. Whisk the mixture for two minutes, to prevent scorching.
- Add minced garlic, and continue whisking until fragrant.
- Increase the stovetop to medium heat and slowly add milk, while continuing to whisk, to prevent lumps from forming. Continue until all of the milk has been added.
- Melt cheese into the sauce a handful at a time. Repeat until all of the cheese has been added and has melted into a smooth sauce. Then stir in the Italian seasoning and black pepper.
- Check the consistency of the sauce. If it is too thin, let it simmer for a couple of minutes, until it thickens. If it is too thick, make sure the cheese has fully melted, then stir in a couple of splashes of milk, as needed.
- Serve immediately over fettuccine pasta noodles.
