This dish was amazing! I did use Pinot Grigio for the wine. The flavor was easy on the tastebuds. It was even a favorite with my kids. I did use Parkay Spray Butter on the pasta after draining it because there was not enough sauce to coat it.

Changed white wine and cheese to reggiano-parmegiana cheese grated with some of the liquid from boiling fresh fettucine. Delicious! Tasty and doesn't leave you feeling stuffed.
