White Wine & Garlic Cream Sauce



This is a recipe for a simple cream sauce that is so versatile.  Use it for pasta, rice, chicken and seafood. I even serve it with my Island Pork Tenderloin.  I double and triple the recipe for later uses and because I like a lot of sauce!
 

  • 2 TBSP. butter
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper
  • Tarragon or other herbs of choice
  1. Melt butter in a saute pan. 
  2. Add garlic. Saute 1 minute. 
  3. Add wine and reduce to about half. 
  4. Add cream, salt and pepper, HERBS.

  4. Try balsamic vinegar instead of the wine. The color may get a little on the funny side but the balsamic and wine have the similar sweetness when reduced.

    2. I made this recipe and found that all the wine wasn't needed. I ended up having to add a few pinches of flour. Also, just tolet you know I was adding the cream to a pasta I had made with spinach and mushrooms. If I were to make this recipe again I think I would only add 1/25-3/4 cup of wine or sherry which is known to cook with.

  6. I added whole milk (instead of cream) and it separated! Did that happen to anybody else?

    1. Any type of cream or dairy product runs the risk of separating/breaking. To keep it from happening I've been told to add the cream/milk while the pan is off the heat. Also you should never cover the pan because the condensation can cause breakage, as can cooking over too high a heat.

      If it has already happened the best suggestion I've seen to fix it is adding a little slurry of cornstarch (this will also help thicken).

      Hope that helps!

    1. Sometimes it's not about the alcohol itself, the flavor could be a trigger. Just an FYI...

  9. Last night I made this sauce and some grilled chicken breast. I put the chicken and sauce in a container and then tonight I reheated to see how it would hold up. I am considering making if doe 150 for a friends wedding. It turned out amazing! It also marinated the grilled chicken and made that amazing!

    My question is, how many does this serve? I hadn't paid attention to the quantity . I know that I doubled the recipe, but I want more sauce than that even. If you were going to serve 25, what do you think your ratios would be? T sounds like you like a lot of sauce as well...

  15. This was delicious! I tightened it up with 1.5 Tb flour which I added to mushrooms that I sauteed with the garlic, and a little (probably 1/4 C) of the pasta water from the fettuccini that I cooked earlier.
