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!
