  • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to remove any lumps, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Add the cooking cream and Parmesan cheese, then whisk over low-medium heat until the sauce becomes smooth and bubbly. If you are using freshly grated parmesan cheese, whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Add salt and pepper and set aside.
