Notes

1. I used Farfalle pasta but you can use any pasta you have in the cupboard. It is a thin sauce so something the sauce can hang onto will help.

2. Did you know it’s recommended you use 1 Litre of water to every 100g of pasta?? We are using 250g of pasta so make sure your pot can hold more than 2 Litres of water

3. In Australia we call it thickened cream however I believe in America and England it’s referred to as heavy cream.

4. I’ve seen many recipes that require 500g of pasta. This is a lot of pasta for 4 people! Feel free to increase the pasta amount by another 100g the recipe will still work

5. If you don’t want to use wine that’s fine just add another cup of vegetable stock

6. I use dried vegetable stock adding hot water to create 1 cup of required stock. Feel free to use liquid stock If that’s what you have on hand.

7. It’s essential to salt your pasta water! It adds to the flavour!
