Alfredo Sauce

Contributed by: Melinda

Besan is ground chickpea flour and I have developed a fondness for it's color and flavor in sauces. It can be purchased at specialty stores carrying indian foods and at many gourmet stores. You can substitute an equal amount of unbleached white wheat or whole wheat flour.

2 Tbl oil
1 Tbl butter
3 Tbl besan* flour
2 cups hot milk
Freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2 teaspoon - 1 tsp)
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan/romano blended cheese (one or the other can be used alone)
  • In a saucepan, melt butter in oil over medium heat
  • Sprinkle in besan and whisk until smooth
  • Reduce heat slightly
  • Allow besan to cook about 2-3 minutes
  • Gradually add hot milk, whisking constantly to remove all lumps before adding more milk
  • When milk is fully incorporated, add nutmeg and allow to simmer until thickened
  • Turn off heat and add cheeses
  • Stir until cheese is melted

    Sauce will thicken as it cools. This is an excellent all around cheese sauce and especially good with pasta and chicken.
