  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the garlic, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream, then stir in ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
  4. Allow the sauce to cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, whisking continuously until it thickens.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before spreading it on your pizza dough or using it as a dip.
