Quick and Easy Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe
This super simple Garlic Butter Sauce will transform everything from pasta to vegetables into a drool-worthy dish. Made with vibrant California-grown garlic, lots of fresh herbs, and sweet butter made with real California dairy!
Equipment
- Medium Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1 stick 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 8 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup minced Italian parsley
- 1 ½ tablespoons minced chives
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium frying pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 minute.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, remove from heat and serve.
Notes
Garlic bread: To use this as a spread for garlic bread, omit wine then brush liberally on French bread or a baguette and bake.
2. Salt: It may seem like a lot of salt when you taste it on its own, but it won’t be when you add it to something else like pasta, baked potato, vegetables, etc.
3. Wine: I use California Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris (because they’re my drinking wines!). Anything that is dry and not overly fruity or woody will be fine.
4. Storage and leftovers: Store the cooled sauce in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Warm over low heat on the stove or for 10 second increments in the microwave until runny and smooth.
