Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy White Pizza Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the ingredients required for your delicious sauce.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt butter and olive oil together over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the mixture is bubbling, toss in finely chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onion becomes tender and translucent, which should take about two minutes.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle in the flour, cooking it until it turns a light golden brown and blends seamlessly with the onion and garlic.
Step 5
Gradually pour in one cup of milk, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth texture without lumps.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, minced basil, chopped oregano if you choose to use it, along with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.
Step 7
Keep whisking as the sauce simmers, allowing the cheese to melt and the mixture to thicken slightly, which should take around five minutes.
Step 8
If you find the sauce too thick for your liking, simply add a splash more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 9
Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, ready to elevate your dish to new heights.
