Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the flour, liquid butter substitute, skim evaporated milk, and chicken broth until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add the minced garlic, lite salt (if using), and black pepper to the mixture.
  3. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles slightly and thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the fat-free Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
