Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic, peeled and roasted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle it with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  2. Heat the cream and garlic: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and roasted garlic cloves (squeezed out from skins). Stir gently for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  3. Incorporate cheese and seasoning: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheese completely melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  4. Season and cool: Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before spreading on your pizza dough.

Notes

  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze the sauce for up to three months.
  • When reheating frozen sauce, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm gently to preserve texture and flavor.
