Tortellini In A White Wine Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb tortellini
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups cream
salt and pepper
grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

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.
