Steps:
- Measure out all ingredients in advance; the cooking process happens fast! If serving with pasta, cook 8 ounces pasta while you make the sauce.
- In a small or medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the grated garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute to 90 seconds, until bubbly and golden. Do not overcook it: the flour can turn brown within a few seconds. Keep an eye on it!
- Add a splash of milk and whisk it in: the sauce will instantly turn chunky. Constantly whisking, continue to add splashes of milk and whisk them in until the entire quantity is incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- Reduce the heat and whisk until the sauce thickens and no longer tastes like raw flour, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and Parmesan cheese. Taste and add a pinch or two more salt if desired.
- If serving with pasta, drain the pasta, then add the sauce. Add a splash or two of milk to loosen the sauce and come to just the right creamy consistency. Taste and a few more pinches of salt, if necessary. (The sauce is best freshly made, so we don't recommend making it in advance).

Tips:
- Use high-quality Parmesan cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese will greatly affect the flavor of the sauce. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is hard and aged for at least 12 months.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese yourself: Pre-grated Parmesan cheese often contains additives and preservatives that can affect the flavor of the sauce. If possible, grate the Parmesan cheese yourself just before using it.
- Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter will allow you to control the saltiness of the sauce. If you use salted butter, you may need to adjust the amount of salt you add to the sauce.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The Parmesan sauce should be cooked just until the cheese is melted and smooth. Overcooking the sauce will cause the cheese to become grainy and separate.
- Serve the sauce immediately: The Parmesan sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store the sauce, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
The Parmesan sauce is a quick and easy sauce that can be used to dress up a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. The sauce is also a great way to use up leftover Parmesan cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and flavorful Parmesan sauce that will impress your family and friends.
