A Simple White Wine Sauce Is Your Ticket To A Dreamy Pasta Dish
BY WENDY LEIGH
White wine sauce is one of the most versatile ways to perk up a pasta dish. To make one, you only need seven ordinary ingredients and a few simple steps.
First, melt butter and sauté garlic and shallots. Add a tablespoon
of flour for thickening, and build the sauce with equal amounts
of white wine and heavy cream
or whole milk.
Then let it simmer for a few minutes over very low heat, stirring to prevent sticking or burning. Add some Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper if desired.
Choose a white wine that's on the drier side, as sweeter wines can overpower pasta dishes. Make it a seafood-pasta jamboree or add some grilled chicken or roasted veggies.
