    1. Start by cooking the garlic. Roasted garlic makes a wonderfully fragrant, flavorful addition to all kinds of dishes, sauces included. Peel the cloves, rinse and pat them dry, and slice them thin. Put them in a small dish and microwave for 2 minutes, then mash the softened garlic with a fork. You can also brown it the classic way, in a skillet with a little oil. 2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. 3. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. 4. Pour in the cream (heavy cream, around 33% fat, works best) and, whisking constantly, add the roasted, mashed garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil. 5. Add the salt, freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan. Bring it back to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Keep whisking and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. 6. Take the pan off the heat. Let the sauce cool slightly and taste it, adjusting the salt and pepper as needed. Your garlic Parmesan sauce is ready! Pour it into a pretty serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh herbs. This creamy white sauce is great over meat, chicken, or roasted and steamed vegetables, or simply spread on toast or a baguette. You can also use it on pizza in place of the usual tomato sauce, or stir it into pasta or lasagna. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Enjoy!
