  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Step-by-step preparation

  1. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped garlic and cook until soft and golden, about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and stir well so it combines with the garlic and butter.
