Garlic Cream Sauce

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp salted butter

1 clove garlic (minced, or 1 bulb roasted see notes)

1/2 tsp granulated garlic (see notes)

1 cup dry white wine (not sweet, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work great)

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 tsp sea salt (more to taste if needed)

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large 10" skillet over medium heat. When the butter begins sizzling, turn the heat to low and add the garlic and granulated garlic.

Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute, not letting the garlic brown.

Add the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce until the wine is just a 1/4" skim in the pan.

Next, add the heavy cream and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Do not let it come to a hard boil because it will boil over the pan.

Reduce the sauce over a low simmer until it lightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon if you're using it for pasta. Reduce a little more if you're serving it over protein.

Season to taste with sea salt and pepper, sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
