Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Make sure it doesn’t brown.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, continuing to whisk constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Step 6
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it has fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve the roomsaus immediately over your choice of dish, or let it cool for later use. If reheating, do so gently, adding a splash of milk if needed to adjust the consistency.
