Peach upside down cake, baked in cast iron skillet .

Instructions

1. Melt the Butter

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Cook the Garlic

  • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

3. Make a Roux

  • Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.

4. Add the Milk

  • Gradually whisk in the milk (or cream), continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Add the Cheese and Seasoning

  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thick and creamy.

6. Serve

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  • Spread the garlic sauce over your pizza crust or use it as a dipping sauce for pizza, breadsticks, or garlic knots.
