Ingredients You'll Need

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup white wine (choose a wine you enjoy, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or basil for garnishing (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions To Make Your White Wine Pasta Sauce

  1. Melt butter and cook onions

    Begin by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the finely diced onion to the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and soft. Stir occasionally to avoid burning the onions.

  2. Add garlic and cook

    Next, add your minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will turn bitter.

    • Stir in the white wine

      This is the fun part! Pour the white wine into the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Let the mixture cook for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook out and the flavors to meld together. It's essential that the alcohol cooks off for a smoother-tasting sauce. The mixture will reduce slightly during this time.

    • Add heavy cream

      Slowly pour heavy cream into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine the cream and the wine mixture. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes as it starts to thicken. Be sure to keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to avoid any lumps forming.

    • Season and serve

      Now that your sauce has thickened, season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste. For an even more decadent touch, you can add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Once the cheese has melted, your sauce is ready! Pour it over your favorite pasta, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
