# Instructions:

01 - Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat.
02 - Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 - Sprinkle flour into the pan and whisk until fully combined. Cook for another minute to remove raw flour taste.
04 - Slowly pour in vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
05 - Simmer gently for 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the back of a spoon.
06 - Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan cheese and parsley. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
07 - Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until reaching desired consistency. The sauce should be silky and coat the back of a spoon.
08 - Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

# Notes:

01 - This versatile sauce pairs beautifully with pasta, chicken, or as a dipping sauce for bread.
02 - For a thinner consistency, add more broth gradually until desired texture is achieved.
