My favorite alfredo sauce

Alfredo Sauce:
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white wine
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Add some olive oil to a saute pan and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and saute then add white wine and reduce for a minute or two. Add the heavy cream, increase heat to a simmer and reduce the cream sauce by half. When the cream sauce is at its desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt and pepper. Add whatever pasta you would like. I like adding a little chili powder for a kick.

Serve with chicken or shrimp and you could add sundried tomatoes or broccoli.

Thanks for sharing! I have always wanted to make my own instead of getting it out of the jar!

How funny! I was actually getting online to find a alfredo sauce I can make with our Chicken & Cheese ravioli's I will be making for dinner tonight. This sounds delicious! Do you use cooking wine or real wine?

I use real wine, I usually buy a bottle that cost around $7.00, usually tastes good. It may taste funny with cooking wine because you can taste the sweetness of the wine in the sauce.
