NEED A PERFECT RECIPE?

One of our favorite dishes is Garlic Scampi and Linguine.  So easy, but so delicious.  I thought I'd share it with you.

Start by boiling the pasta in a large pot of salted water.

In another saucepan, melt butter over low heat, add white wine, fresh grated parmesean cheese, garlic, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper.

You can use any sort of white wine you wish.  I had this trocken and it worked just fine.

Cook 3 - 5 minutes.

Add the scampi and cook for another 3-4 minutes and voila!  What could be easier? 

It is the sort of dish you can serve to unexpected company and it only takes minutes, yet looks like you've been cooking for hours.

Here is the final presentation with a bottle of white.  Really, all you need for a perfect dinner!

BON APPETIT!
