White Sauce

This is very easy and delicious. Recently I've added a little pesto sauce (see blog post) on top to give it a little kick and color.

White Sauce
1/4 butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup cream or evaporated milk
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese (I've used Kraft grated and it works just as well)
dash of nutmeg
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Black pepper

Melt 1/4 c butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until combined. Cook and stir for about 1 minute. Then stir in chicken broth, cream, and pepper to taste. Add garlic powder and nutmeg to taste as well. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Simmer 5-10 minutes or until it thickens.
