I've been told to replace wine with the same amount of broth with lemon or vinegar. I hope that helps you.

What can I use to replace dry white wine?

Delicious!! Made brown rice to help with soaking up sauce. Adding grated Parmesan cheese on my serving put it over the top! Our 11-year-old didn’t love it but the rest of us did.

This recipe is awesome! I added some rosemary with the garlic and a half cup of chicken stock with the wine. Served with blanched zucchini spirals. Over the top delicious!

Great recipe! Didn’t have cream, so used milk, and put some fresh basil on top with some locatelli! Will definitely make it again

Wow! This was delicious! I added about a 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the sauce at the end but other than that I stuck to the recipe. I served it over whole wheat spaghetti. It was so good and very easy! Will definitely be in my regular dinner rotation.
