White Wine Parmesan Cream Sauce

I had an epiphany tonight. Cooking seasonally is not just about the ingredients. It goes beyond my produce selections in the grocery store and spills straight into the dishes that I’m creating.

Tonight is really the first cool night in southern California and all I could think about was fresh autumn ingredients and cooking something that warmed me from the inside out. And there are few things more warming than a cheesy, creamy white wine sauce.

You will need…

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup dry white wine

1 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon flour

½ cup grated parmesan, plus the rind

¼ cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Start by heating the olive oil over medium heat.

When the olive oil is hot, add in the garlic and cook until fragrant. About 1 minute.

Pour in the white wine and bring the liquid to simmer. Simmer for about 2 minutes, until the liquid has started to reduce and stir in the chicken stock.

Add parmesan rind and bring the liquid back to a simmer.

In a small bowl, combine the flour and the butter. 

When the flour is completely incorporated with the butter, whisk the butter into the sauce.

When the butter has been whisked into the sauce, add in the parmesan cheese and cream and continue to whisk until everything is hot throughout and completely combined.

Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
