2 tablespoons butter unsalted 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 1/2 - 3 cups light cream 4 cloves minced garlic 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
Over medium heat, place a large skillet and add butter.
Once butter is melted and sizzling, add the flour, and whisk well to combine while cooking. Let it cook for about 1 minute while stirring.
Next, add slowly the light cream and continue to stir. Make sure not to pour the cream all at once, instead do it slowly.
Then, add garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Once the sauce simmers, reduce heat to low and add shredded Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Stir for few seconds until the cheese fully melts.
