Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a skillet on low heat, add olive oil and shallot. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until the shallot is soft. Then add the minced garlic and stir for 20 to 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
  • Immediately add the white wine, parsley, basil, and thyme and simmer until the wine has reduced by half, 10 minutes.
  • Strain the sauce with a fine strainer if desired.
  • Turn the heat to medium high and add the cream. Cook this for 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Taste and add salt if necessary. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. To make a smoother sauce, place the finished sauce in a blender for a minute.
  2. Shredded cheese can be added to the hot garlic sauce at the end of cooking. 1/3 to 1/2 cup is all that is needed.
  3. You can use different herbs in the sauce like rosemary, tarragon, or dried Italian seasoning. Also, spice the sauce up with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
