How to Make White Sauce For Pasta
- Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter and 2 tablespoons margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and no lumps remain (this creates a roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chicken broth and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese!).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Enjoy!
