Ingredients for Asiago Cheese Sauce

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Asiago Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (or other herbs, optional)

How to Make Asiago Cheese Sauce

  1. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency (about 7-9 minutes). Reduce heat if the sauce boils or thickens too quickly.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated Asiago cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the dried oregano (or your choice of herbs), if using.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or as a dip. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
