White Pizza Sauce

White Pizza Sauce is a rich and creamy alternative to traditional tomato-based sauces, offering a smooth blend of Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs. This sauce enhances vegetable and meat pizzas, works beautifully in calzones, and pairs well with pasta dishes like chicken and broccoli fettuccine. Its velvety texture and flavorful depth make it a versatile kitchen staple, and it freezes well for future use.
