Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the sautéed garlic, and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream, then stir in ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano and dried basil, adding red pepper flakes if desired.
  4. Continue cooking while whisking for about 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes before using on your pizza or pasta.
