DATA NOTES
- Dried Italian seasoning is a fabulous convenience ingredient. If you don’t keep it handy,
combine 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1/2
teaspoon dried thyme. - This dish is just spicy enough to make your tongue tingle. For a very mild sauce, reduce the
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. - I know that some people are sensitive to alcohol. The wine adds a fabulous, rich buttery flavor and a brilliant pasta lemonade. If you can use chardonnay, I highly recommend it.
However, you can replace it with chicken broth, white grape juice or lemon water (1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup water).
