Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy Sauce

This sauce is as easy as the name suggests! A simple, yet tart lemon sauce to elevate any dish. I make this all the time for pasta and add some shrimp for a nice weeknight dish. SImple, yet perfect!

Lemon & White Wine Sauce
Serves 2-3
Total Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 whole lemons, zested and juiced
• 6 tbs unsalted butter
• 1/2c dry white wine (i used a good old Trader Joe’s Sauv Blanc)
• 6 basil leaves, lightly chopped
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
• 4-5 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1/4 c grated parm

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a straight-sided saucepan over med-high heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until translucent. Add in red pepper flakes, dry white wine, and lemon juice. Reduce heat to a slow simmer.
2. Continue cooking until the liquid has reduced by half. Add in 2 tbs of butter at a time, making sure each batch is fully melted before the remaining butter is added. Once all butter is added and fully melted, turn off your heat (keeping pan on burner) and add grated parm cheese and basil. Stir to combine.
3. Toss with pasta, shrimp, or chicken. Top with lemon zest and serve!
