- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Step 2: Make the Base
- Whisk in the almond flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This creates the thickening base for the sauce.
- Slowly add the heavy cream while whisking continuously to ensure the mixture stays smooth. Continue to whisk until the sauce is fully blended and smooth.
Step 3: Add Flavor
- Stir in the grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). The Parmesan will add richness and a savory umami flavor that’s key to this sauce.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
Final Step: Cool and Spread
- Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before spreading it over your pizza dough or crust. This sauce is rich, smooth, and full of flavor, making it the perfect base for any pizza.
