How to Make White Wine Garlic Alfredo Sauce

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of pasta water to thin it out.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Toss with your favorite pasta and garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
