Description
This garlic sauce is rich, buttery, and bursting with bold garlic flavor, making it the perfect dipping sauce or drizzle for pizza. Whether you’re pairing it with a cheesy slice or using it as a base for a white pizza, this sauce adds an irresistible savory kick.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for a creamier version)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook gently for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the salt, pepper, and oregano. If using, add the heavy cream and Parmesan, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Use immediately as a dipping sauce, drizzle, or pizza base, or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat gently before using. For a stronger garlic flavor, let the sauce sit for a few hours to allow the garlic to infuse further. If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the butter slightly or increase the Parmesan.
