directions
-
For the sauce:
- Melt butter, stir in flour and cook over low heat without browning the flour. About 5 minutes.
- Remove mixture from heat and when it has stopped bubbling add the wine.
- Return to heat and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
- Add cream and salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes and taste for seasoning.
-
For the pasta:
- Cook the tortellini to the "al dente" stage-tender but still a little chewy.
- Drain.
- Serve very hot either mixed or topped with the wine sauce per your preference.
- Top with generous amount of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- I like to serve in individual small casserole type dishes.
- Will also work with ravioli.
