WHITE PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring with a fork until the mixture is thick and pasty.
• Turn up the heat to medium-low and then slowly add in the milk, whisking it all together and stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
• Add the Italian seasoning (or basil and oregano), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow your sauce to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has thickened.
• Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese has melted and is well incorporated. Your white sauce will thicken further as it cools, so add a bit more milk if needed and, conversely, don't worry if it seems too thin while on the stovetop over the heat.
• Use to top your favorite pizza crust or pasta.
