Step-by-Step Instructions for Quick & Easy White Pizza Sauce
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s fully liquefied and begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the all-purpose flour smoothly until well combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
  3. Gradually add the milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in the sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic cloves into the thickened sauce. Continue to whisk for about 30 seconds.
  5. Incorporate the shredded parmesan cheese into the sauce, stirring until it melts completely.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes before using.
