What kind of white wine is best for this pasta sauce?

For this recipe, a dry white wine is recommended. Avoid sweet wines, as they will alter the intended savory flavor profile of the sauce.

How do I ensure my sauce thickens properly with the cornstarch slurry?

Ensure the wine mixture is still bubbling when you slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. The sauce should thicken instantly, but you can adjust the amount of cornstarch for your preferred consistency.

Can I use canned tomatoes instead of a fresh hot house tomato?

While the recipe specifies a large hot house tomato for its fresh flavor, you could substitute with a small can of diced tomatoes, drained, if fresh are unavailable. Adjust seasoning as needed.

When should I add the petite peas to the pasta dish?

The petite peas are added at the very end, along with fresh parsley, as a garnish. They are not cooked into the sauce, maintaining their vibrant color and slight crunch.

How will I know when the white wine has reduced by half?

Visually observe the liquid level in the pot; it should visibly decrease by about half its original volume after simmering for approximately 10 minutes, concentrating its flavors.

How to Prepare Pasta With White Wine Tomato Sauce [Vegan]

In a pot, sauté onion in about 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and continue to sauté another 3 minutes.
Add in the wine and reduce by about half. This will take about 10 minutes. In the meantime, small dice your tomato and set aside.
Once wine mixture has reduced by about half, add in your tomatoes and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, in a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. While the wine mixture is still bubbling, slowly whisk in the cornstarch. The sauce will thicken instantly. You might prefer a looser sauce and in that case, use less cornstarch.
Pour sauce over spaghetti and garnish with fresh parsley and peas.
