How to Make Asiago Cream Sauce

  1. Melt 2 ounces (57 grams) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (100 grams) finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until onions are softened and translucent.
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups (473 ml) hot chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and meld the flavors.
  7. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup (50 ml) dry white wine and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat. Whisk in 1 ounce (28 grams) cold butter and 1 cup (100 grams) grated Asiago cheese until smooth and creamy.
  10. Cool the sauce completely before storing in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
