How to Make Mascarpone Cream Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season generously with salt and freshly ground white pepper.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth (optional).
- Serve immediately over your favorite ravioli. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
