Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb asparagus

  • 5 garlic cloves (grated)
  • 1.5 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Bouillon powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.

Add the bouillon powder and stir. Then, pour milk and add nutmeg. Keep whisking continuously for 3 minutes, or until the sauce turns thick and coats the spoon when dipped in the sauce.
