Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup cream (or half and half or milk)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheeses (Mozzarella, Romano, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesano Reggiano cheese (or plain Parmesan)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh or 1-2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup sherry or white wine
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter and add flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to cook flour. Add cream and broth all at once and blend well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
Pour over chicken, shrimp or pasta.

Additional cheese can be added to the topping, if desired. Bake in oven until cheese is golden brown.
