Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry Chardonnay
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the dry Chardonnay into the saucepan and increase the heat to bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce by about half, which should take approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Serve the sauce warm over your choice of protein or vegetables, and enjoy!
