(Serves 4)- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups skim milk
- 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese

Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic to pan and saute for 1 minute. Stir in flour; lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
