1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

2
Make the Roux
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
3
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the roux and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4
Add Milk
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Season the Sauce
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

6
Combine Broccoli and Sauce
Pour the white sauce over the steamed broccoli and gently toss to coat the florets evenly.
