A creamy and flavorful White Garlic Pizza Sauce perfect for adding a rich and garlicky touch to your homemade pizzas. Made with butter, garlic, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, this sauce is easy to prepare on the stovetop and can be customized with herbs and spices to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup heavy cream (or milk/plant-based milk)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano (or other herbs, optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Cook Garlic: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Be careful not to brown the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  2. Add Liquid and Seasonings: Pour in ¾ cup of heavy cream or your choice of milk or plant-based milk. Stir in ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, a pinch of nutmeg if desired, and ¼ teaspoon dried oregano or other herbs for added flavor. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low to avoid boiling.
  3. Simmer and Thicken: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the sauce to thicken slightly so it can coat the back of a spoon nicely.
  4. Add Parmesan and Adjust Seasoning: Stir in ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese if you are using it. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
  5. Finish and Store: Remove the sauce from heat once it has reached your desired thickness. Use the sauce warm immediately on your pizza, or let it cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for refrigeration. When reheating, warm gently and whisk well before use to restore its creamy texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and Parmesan with plant-based alternatives.
  • Do not let the garlic brown during cooking as it will make the sauce bitter.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a little milk or water when reheating.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Add fresh herbs like basil or thyme for a variation in flavor.
