Creamy Pizza Sauce
A source-preserved creamy pizza sauce recipe with heavy cream, butter, garlic, flour, Parmesan, nutmeg, and optional basil.
Ingredients
- Heavy cream 200 g
- Unsalted butter 30 g
- Garlic (minced) 15 g
- All-purpose flour 20 g
- Parmesan cheese 50 g
- Salt 5 g
- Black pepper 2 g
- Nutmeg 1 g
- Fresh basil (chopped, optional) 5 g
Method
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown.
- Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, creating a light roux.
- Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
- If desired, stir in fresh chopped basil for an aromatic lift. Use the sauce immediately on your pizza dough, or let it cool slightly if using as a dip or spread.
