MASTER RECIPE: PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE



Master Recipe: Parmesan Cream Sauce image

Every chef worth his or her salt needs a decent method for creating a creamy Parmesan sauce. Remember: The trick to making a worthy Parmesan sauce (besides taste) is that it is thin enough to flow when drizzling over chicken or fish, yet thick enough to cling to things, like pasta. A good Parmesan sauce forms a base for many...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted, i recommend clarified butter
2 Tbsp flour, all purpose variety
1/2 c chicken stock, not broth
1 c heavy cream
1/4 c parmesan cheese, freshly grated
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste
salt, kosher variety, freshly ground, to taste
OPTIONAL ITEMS (MORE ON VARIATIONS LATER)
skinned/seeded/chopped fresh tomatoes
cream cheese
baked garlic
freshly chopped herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, etc.)
a pinch of nutmeg during the holidays

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your ingredients.
  • 3. Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • 4. If you are not using clarified butter, wait until the foaming subsides.
  • 5. Add the flour.
  • 6. Whisk until completely incorporated, about 1 quick minute.
  • 7. Chef's Note: Adding fat and flour together creates a roux. There are different stages of a roux; the longer your cook it, the browner it gets, and the nuttier it tastes. We want a light roux... no browning. So, 1 minute on the heat is about all you want.
  • 8. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock.
  • 9. Chef's Tip: Do not use hot chicken stock, or you will get lumps in your sauce.
  • 10. Continue to whisk until completely smooth.
  • 11. Add the cream.
  • 12. Stir to incorporate, about 1 minute.
  • 13. Chef's Note: At this point, season with salt and pepper.
  • 14. Chef's Note: We are using white pepper, because we don't want to see little black flakes in the sauce. In addition, white pepper is milder than black pepper, so adjust your seasoning accordingly.
  • 15. Continue to cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 16. Add the Parmesan
  • 17. Stir until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • 18. Chef's Note: If the sauce is too thick, add more cream or chicken stock, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • 19. Chef's Tip: If you are making this sauce ahead of time, put a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap over the sauce while it cools to prevent a skin from forming.
  • 20. VARIATIONS ON A THEME
  • 21. FOR FISH AND CHICKEN: Add about 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme and oregano and 1 or 2 baked/mined cloves of garlic.
  • 22. A VEGGIE DIP: Use the same variations for fish and chicken, but melt about 2 ounces of cream cheese into the sauce.
  • 23. PASTA: Use the master recipe without variations over most pasta.
  • 24. PASTA VARIATION: Skin, seed, and chop one large plum tomato add a tablespoon of chopped basil, and serve over pasta.
  • 25. Chef's Note: When I use garlic in a sauce, I like to bake the garlic first. Place the garlic cloves on a piece of parchment paper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Pull the ends of the parchment paper together and twist together, like a beggar's pouch. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow it to cool. Add a few pinches of salt, and then mash into a paste with the flat side of your kitchen knife.
  • 26. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cream Sauce image

This easy side dish has loads of Parmesan flavor, yet it tastes light enough to not overpower the asparagus. The sauce comes together in minutes while the asparagus roasts in the oven. Quick enough for a busy weeknight meal. Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, as the bagged variety doesn't melt well.

Provided by France C

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus     Baked

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 pinch lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place asparagus on the baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender-crisp, about 10 minutes for thin asparagus, or 14 minutes for large asparagus.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until softened, taking care not to burn garlic. Sprinkle flour onto butter and cook, whisking constantly until mixture is golden and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a light boil until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and continue whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat - sauce will further thicken.
  • Place asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with cheese sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the sauce.
  • Don't boil the cream. Boiling will cause the cream to curdle. Instead, heat it over medium heat until it is just simmering.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese slowly. Whisking the cheese in gradually will help prevent it from clumping.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are good starting points, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Parmesan cream sauce is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Parmesan cream sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are using it to top pasta, chicken, or vegetables, this sauce is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meal, give Parmesan cream sauce a try!
