Tips:

  • To make a flavorful tarragon cream sauce, use fresh tarragon leaves. If fresh tarragon is unavailable, you can use dried tarragon, but use half the amount as the flavor is more concentrated.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
  • Don't overcook the cream sauce. It should be cooked just until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the tarragon cream sauce over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, linguine, or penne.
  • You can also use the sauce to top chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Tarragon cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a creamy sauce to serve over pasta or a flavorful sauce to top chicken or fish, tarragon cream sauce is a great option.
