3757.0. "White wine sauce" by BOSMCH::NOCELLA () Tue Feb 23 1993 13:03

    I am submitting this for a friend after having searched the conference
    for this recipie.  If there is a note out there, blame him, not me!
    
    Alot of restaurants offer white wine sauces in place of cream sauces. 
    Bertucci's, for example, offers their rigatoni, broccoli and chicken in
    both a cream sauce and a white wine sauce.  How does one make a white
    wine sauce?
    
    Thanks.

3757.1what I have doneGOLLY::CARROLLa woman full of fireTue Feb 23 1993 13:4613
    I don't know if there is a formal recipe, but I've made white wine
    sauce by just making a regular white sauce (with cornstarch), using
    wine as the liquid, or using a mixture of wine + (reduced) stock, or
    wine + milk (or cream if you are daring).  Use less cornstarch than the
    recipe calls for, because the wine reduces more than, say, milk or
    stock.
    
    Regular medium white sauce = 1 T cornstarch, 1 T butter, 1 c liquid (I
    leave out the butter), mix well, boil over medium, stirring constantly,
    until thickened and no "raw cornstarch taste", season with salt,
    pepper, a dash of nutmeg and whatever else strikes your fancy.

I've always like Bertucci's Rigatoni and Broccoli 
recipe in the cream sauce.

Can anyone tell me how that cream sauce might
be made?

Thanks,
