In most pasta dishes and in my recipes in general, I love using fresh herbs as a flavor booster, but I completely did away with them in this dish. The white wine adds enough complexity and aromatic distinction to replace the fresh herbs. Like many children, my kids are picky eaters, but they like pasta. I kept retesting this recipe to get just the right amount of white wine, so that it isn’t too overpowering for kids to enjoy  as well. To make this pasta dish a complete meal, add bite-sized pieces of cooked salmon. If you don’t have mushrooms on hand, broccoli florets or chopped spinach work really well here, too. (The color of the dish will be green and may slightly resemble a pesto pasta.)
