Equipment

  • 10" skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1 bulb roasted
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 cup dry white wine not sweet, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work great
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt more to taste if needed
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large 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 ¼" 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.

Notes

Roasted garlic is wonderful in this cream sauce, and because it's much more subtle, you can use a whole bulb. It takes 1 hour to cook in the oven. Granulated garlic is similar to garlic powder but slightly coarser with a nice 'toasty' flavor. Serve with 1 pound of cooked pasta or protein with a side of veggies.
