WINE CREAM SAUCE 
2 tbsp. shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tbsp. fresh Italian parsley, minced
1 tbsp. Wondra or plain flour
1/4 cup white Chianti or Chablis (or other white wine)
1 cup heavy cream
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of paprika

Heat a few tablespoons of the butter in a skillet and saute the shallots, garlic and parsley until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over all lightly.

Whisk in the wine, stirring constantly. Simmer until wine has reduced and is nearly all absorbed (5-10 minutes).

Pour in the cream and simmer over low heat until sauce is thick and creamy, about 6-8 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in remaining butter.

Serve garnished with a sprinkling of parsley and paprika for extra color.

Use this sauce to dress up chicken, fish and vegetables.

Makes about 1 cup of sauce.

Note: If sauce is too thin, add a little more flour or simmer until desired consistency. If sauce is too thick, thin with a little cream or chicken broth.

First time making this type of sauce, came out great! I eliminated the parsley, and only used 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. I also used a cup of wine and a full pint of cream, making a larger batch. Yum!

Used roasted, minced garlic, added finely diced (de-seeded) Roma tomatoes about 30 seconds before serving. STELLAR!!! Over angel-hair pasta with mushrooms and asparagus tips. NOW you're feasting!

Please, Chianti is a red wine and definitely not white. According to Wikipedia Chianti consists of the following: Since 1996 the blend for Chianti and Chianti Classico has been 75-100% Sangiovese, up to 10% Canaiolo and up to 20% of any other approved red grape variety such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah. Since 2006, the use of white grape varieties such as Malvasia and Trebbiano have been prohibited in Chianti Classico.
