Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
