Ingredients

0.25 cup butter, or more to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (such as Kraft®)
2 cups milk
1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper

Instructions

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
Reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in flour until the mixture is smooth and forms a roux, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until melted and the sauce starts to thicken, around 2 to 3 minutes.
Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly, to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth sauce, about 5 minutes.
Season to taste with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the sauce reaches your desired thickness, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
