How to Make Butter Sauce For Pasta Seafood Etc
- Soften 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/4 cup margarine at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to thoroughly blend the softened butter, margarine, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
- Melt the butter/flour mixture in a double boiler over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and melted. (Alternatively, melt in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning).
- Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Adjust seasonings to your liking. Feel free to substitute with fresh garlic (1-2 cloves, minced), heavy cream, white pepper, or other spices.
- Gradually whisk in up to 4 tablespoons more evaporated milk, if desired, to reach your preferred consistency.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese (or more, to taste).
- Pour the sauce generously over your favorite pasta, seafood, or chicken and enjoy!
