• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in the dry white wine and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and let it gently simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the sauce with fresh parsley, if desired.
