Parmesan garlic white pizza sauce is a creamy delicious red sauce alternative. Made with real cream, freshly grated parmesan, tons of minced garlic, and a hint of spice, this sauce is truly amazing.
If you have never had the pleasure of devouring white sauce on a pizza, I’m honestly a little bit sad for you. This sauce is especially delicious with the help of fresh parmesan and garlic. My husband and I prefer white pizza sauce over red when I make pizza for just us. It adds a bit of sophistication to our cozy pajama date night movie binge.
How to make white pizza sauce
Simple, natural ingredients make the best products. The ingredients in this parmesan garlic white pizza sauce are just that. You will need heavy whipping cream, butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese. I don’t use a roux to thicken the sauce which many recipes call for. The heavy cream is perfect for creating a rich sauce without the need of flour.
To prepare, start by heating the butter and garlic in a small skillet or saucepan. Sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes over low heat. Season with red pepper flakes before whisking in the cream.
Turn the heat to medium to all the cream to boil slightly. Add the parmesan and black pepper turning the heat back to low. Stir consistently until the cheese is melted and sauce is creamy. Season with salt to taste if necessary.
Alfredo sauce vs. White pizza sauce
Undoubtedly you noticed that the ingredients are very similar to Alfredo sauce. You are correct! This pizza sauce is basically an all cream Alfredo sauce. It’s perfect for pasta and other dishes screaming for a delicious cheese sauce.
