Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
0.25 cup finely chopped onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, or more as needed
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp minced fresh basil
0.5 tsp chopped fresh oregano
0.25 tsp salt
0.125 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1

Prepare all ingredients.

2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and olive oil. Stir in onion and garlic.

3

Whisk in flour until it turns lightly brown and the onion softens slightly (about 2 minutes).

4

Pour in milk, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook while continuously whisking until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens a bit (around 5 minutes).

5

If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add more milk.

6

Remove from heat.
