Creamy White Wine Pasta

Creamy White Wine Pasta. I served this delicious creamy pasta with grilled garlic butter langoustines but the pasta is equally as delicious on its own. If you want to make the langoustines, simply stir 2 crushed garlic cloves, the zest of a lemon and a tablespoon of chopped parsley into 75g butter. Spread the flavoured butter on to the langoustines and grill for 3-5 minutes.

Recipe

Serves 2

Difficulty Rating: Rookie

Ingredients:

• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
• 50g butter
• Teaspoon plain flour
• 350ml white wine
• 250ml chicken stock
• 150ml double cream
• Salt and white pepper
• 200g pasta- I used penne

Method:

1. Cook the pasta in lots of salted boiling water according to instructions, reducing the cooking time by two minutes.
2. Melt the butter in a deep frying pan over a low- medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until completely soft but not coloured, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and a pinch of white pepper.
3. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
4. Add the teaspoon of flour and stir for a further minute before adding the wine. Reduce by half, add the chicken stock and simmer for a few minutes.
5. Finally add the double cream and simmer for a couple of minutes. Taste and season with salt and white pepper if needed.
6. Drain the pasta, retaining a cupful of the cooking water.
7. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook for 1-2 more minutes until all combined. Add a little pasta water if needed.
8. Serve the Creamy White Wine Pasta on its own, or alongside grilled langoustines.
