This white wine sauce is easy to make and full of tangy, savory flavor from dry wine and Parmesan. Serve as a sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 shallot (1/4 cup finely chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic. Finely chop the shallot.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and saute for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant but not browned. Add the flour and cook 1 more minute.
  3. Add white wine and cream and cook on a low simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and whisk until it melts. Taste and adjust salt if needed. If desired, serve with 8 ounces pasta of any shape.

Notes

Leftover storage notes: This white wine sauce is best served fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The sauce will become very thick in the fridge. To reheat, warm it gently over low heat, whisking in a splash of cream or milk (I would avoid microwaving it). Avoid freezing since cream-based sauces usually become grainy when thawed.
