Interesting recipe, good change from marinara. Great creamy texture. I had to substitue white wine for white wine vinegar. I don't recommend this swap, it was too sour (maybe try apple juice or water). I also used 1/2tsp ground sage instead of fresh. I'd like to try this dish from a professional :) - 11/10/09
