Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and broth. Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by about half.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the heavy cream. Warm gently without letting the sauce boil hard.
- Whisk in the Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese melts and the sauce lightly coats a spoon.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley if using, and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, seafood, or vegetables.
