Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Continue to stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until butter reaches golden brown color (once brown move on to the next step right away so it doesn't burn).
  2. Sprinkle flour over melted butter. Stir until mixture clumps together. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil (stirring constantly) and whisk until mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined with the sauce.
  4. Serve sauce over your favorite noodles. (fettuccine noodles are pictured) Store chilled in airtight container up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Serve over your favorite noodles!
