Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, incorporating it into the wine and butter mixture.
Add the softened cream cheese and stir until it fully melts into the sauce, creating a smooth texture.
Gently whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, one handful at a time, ensuring each addition is melted before adding the next.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, or pair with chicken, seafood, or vegetables.
