Pasta For Two

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Penne
		Salt - as needed
1 tablespoon	15ml	Butter
2 tablespoons	30ml	Finely-minced shallots
1 tablespoon	15ml	Garlic clove - finely minced (small)
1/4 cup	59ml	Dry white wine
1/2 tablespoon	7.5ml	Flour
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Ricotta cheese
		Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the wine and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Whisk in the flour.

Combine the ricotta and reserved pasta water in a bowl and whisk into the pan. The sauce will thicken immediately. Add the drained pasta to the sauce. Top with grated Parmesan before serving.
