15 minutes to make this luxurious Garlic Parmesan Sauce with its smooth and creamy texture. Its simple but deep flavor pairs well with meat, veggies, or pasta. Serve it drizzled over steak, roasted asparagus, or toss it together with freshly cooked pasta. The sky is the limit with this versatile sauce you'll find yourself coming back to it over and over again. It's great for any special occasion like holidays and birthdays. But I also love it for entertaining, weekend dinners, and at-home date nights.

Instructions
Place a large saucepan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the butter and minced garlic.
Sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the white wine to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer until the wine is almost gone.
Next, add the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a boil, be careful you don't let it boil over. Reduce the heat and simmer just until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and is lightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and serve as desired.

Notes
White wine adds a nice depth of flavor, but if you don't want to use it, try adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste after you add the parmesan cheese, about 1-2 tbsp.This sauce makes enough for 4 servings of meat like steak or chicken. Or you can toss it together with a 12 ounce package of freshly cooked pasta and enough reserved cooking water to perfectly coat the pasta.
