Preheat steam-jacketed kettle or large stockpot on medium to medium/high heat.
Add minced garlic and olive oil to preheated vessel. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until garlic is slightly browned and aromatic.
While sautéing garlic, whisk together the low-fat milk, evaporated milk, cheese, flour, salt and granulated garlic in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until all components are fully blended. There will be small particulates of grated cheese throughout the mixture.
Pour milk mixture in the stockpot with the sautéed garlic and bring the sauce to a low boil. Stir continuously to prevent sauce from scorching.
Once sauce comes to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken.
Remove from heat and add in chopped parsley. Serve with pasta of choice. Serve immediately or CP: Hold hot at 135°F (57°C).
