Light Alfredo Sauce

For 8 ounces of pasta:

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese


Instructions

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Whisk in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until it is lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until it is incorporated and smooth.

Add the thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and parmesan and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Reduce the heat to a low simmer until the pasta is ready.
