Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- Sauté: In a sauté pan, add extra virgin olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté over low heat until soft and translucent.
- Thicken: Once cooked, gradually add in flour, salt and pepper until a thick paste starts to form.
- Cream: Stir in greek yogurt and gradually add milk, about a ½ cup at a time, whisk until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
- Combine: Once you’ve added all the milk, gradually add both cheeses and vegetable broth, stirring constantly until a thick sauce forms.
- Serve: Serve over pasta or save in a jar!
Notes
For a smoother, creamier sauce, shred the cheese by hand rather than using pre-shredded options. For a lighter meal, serve over zucchini noodles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
