Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

1/2 tsp. sweet paprika

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1-2 Tbsp. fresh minced parsley

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, optional

Directions

In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

Stir in Cajun seasoning, paprika, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add cream and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add lemon juice.

This recipe makes enough sauce for 8 ounces of dry pasta. Use your favorite pasta and toss it immediately after cooking. Add 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water to help the sauce bind better with the pasta.
