Creamy Thyme Sauce

Place saucepan over medium-low heat, add butter to melt. Once melted, add flour, stirring constantly until smooth. Cook flour and butter until it reaches a pale golden color (5 minutes), then whisk in milk. Bring to a boil and stir. Reduce temperature to low and add parmesan and stir until melted. Season with garlic powder and thyme. Add salt to taste. Add nutmeg and pepper if desired. Stir and simmer one minute more. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Note: If sauce gets too tight and thick, whisk in some additional heated milk, or a little hot pasta water.
