A delightful cheese sauce recipe with a hint of garlic and nutmeg, perfect for enhancing your favorite vegetables or pasta dishes.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the sauce light.
Add the flour and whisk continuously until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Cook the roux for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother sauce.
Stir in the minced garlic and ground nutmeg, allowing the flavors to blend.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Once the sauce thickens, reduce the heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted and smooth.
Use freshly grated cheese for the best melting consistency.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite vegetables or pasta.
Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley for a fresh touch.
