Make a rich, flavorful white wine cream sauce that perfectly coats your favorite ravioli. This recipe is easy to follow and uses simple ingredients for big flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Pour in the dry white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce by about half. This concentrates the flavor.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Let the sauce gently simmer for 3 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of reserved pasta water (if using cooked ravioli).
  7. Toss your cooked ravioli directly into the skillet with the sauce, coating them evenly. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a dry white wine for the best flavor; avoid sweet varieties.
  • For a richer sauce, use a little more butter and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you need to thin the sauce, add small amounts of the starchy water you used to cook your ravioli until you reach the desired consistency.
  • This sauce pairs well with cheese, spinach, or meat-filled ravioli.
