Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Use fresh garlic and butter, and a good quality white wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much garlic or butter to the pan at once, it will not cook evenly. Add the ingredients in batches, and stir constantly.
  • Cook the garlic until it is fragrant: But do not let it burn. Cook the garlic over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Add the butter and white wine: Once the garlic is cooked, add the butter and white wine to the pan. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the wine has reduced by half.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic butter sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables.
