Follow these easy steps to make a quick, creamy white pasta sauce.

Step 1: Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly

Step 2: Add the all-purpose flour and continue stirring constantly for 1 more minute. This will create a roux, which looks like a thick white paste. Make sure the burner is on medium and not high here. Roux burns easily.

Step 3: Slowly pour in the milk, stirring as you do so. Keep stirring after all the milk is in the pot, until the sauce thickens. Add the salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Whisk constantly while the cheese melts. After the cheese has melted, simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Remove the pot from the heat immediately when done and toss with cooked pasta.
