Step-by-Step Instructions for White Garlic Pizza Sauce

  4. Continue to whisk the sauce for 5-7 minutes until thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before using or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
