    Best Creamy Garlic Sauce

    My garlic white sauce recipe uses just six ingredients: flour, butter, garlic, parmesan, parsley, and half-and-half. It's a creamy roasted garlic sauce that is the perfect consistency for all kinds of dishes. I first tried this white cream sauce recipe drizzled over pizza, and I've been a fan of it ever since.

    This creamy white garlic sauce is a dream come true. My family and I love cream sauce recipes and anything garlicky, and this sauce... oh! It's the best of both worlds! It's easy to make, versatile, and so, so flavorful.

    I'm going to show you how to make a white pizza sauce that is out of this world delicious. You will want to add it to everything!

    This sauce is super easy to do and it tastes great.

    White Garlic Sauce Ingredients

    • Butter 
    • Minced garlic
    • All-purpose flour
    • Half and half
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Parsley 
    Butter and garlic in a pan

    How to Make Creamy Garlic Sauce

    1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir constantly so the garlic doesn't burn.
    2. Add in flour, stirring, and cook for about 1 minute, until lightly browned. Stir frequently. Whisk in half and half gradually and season with salt and pepper.
    3. Simmer until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes - keep stirring now and then. Whisk out any lumps that form. Cook the sauce just until it thickens. When it thickly coats the back of a spoon, it's ready.
    4. Stir in Parmesan and parsley, then remove pan from heat. Serve immediately for best results. It will thicken further off heat.Serve with dishes like pasta, pizza, chicken wings, beef, and more!

    Creamy Garlic Sauce FAQs

    Can I make Garlic Sauce ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make this easy white sauce 3-4 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat over low heat on the stove.

    Can I freeze white sauce?

    You sure can. This sauce actually freezes quite well. I love making a big batch and freezing it for future uses.
