• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups heavy cream
• 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and flour, and cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Whisk in heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly until the mixture is hot and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese and fontina cheese. Season with salt and black pepper. Continue to simmer until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thickened, stirring often, 20 to 30 more minutes.
