  3. Sauté the chopped onion in butter until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with dry white wine, scraping up browned bits, and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

  7. Stir in heavy cream and chopped parsley until the sauce is smooth.
