1-Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 ounces gluten-free pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
2-Sautรฉ aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and optional 1 tablespoon rosemary or thyme. Sautรฉ 30 seconds until fragrant, no browning.
3-Build the sauce base: Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine, bring to a boil, then simmer until nearly evaporated.

๐ง Avoid boiling the sauce after adding parmesan to prevent graininess – stir gently off heat instead
๐ฅ Don’t over-reduce the cream sauce before adding pasta, or it may separate when reheated
๐ฟ Use fresh garlic and herbs rather than dried for the best flavor in this simple sauce
