What type of white wine would you normally use for cooking pasta sauces? Recipes don't say which one to use.?

I think it depends on the type of sauce you are making. If it is a tomato based sauce then red would be the preferable and if you're making a creamy pasta sauce then the wine should be white. Choose a fruity red or a dry white that are not too expensive as you won't taste it the same way when it gets cooked.

It's all according to taste preference and which dish you're serving.





There are now storebought versions of pasta sauces that contain alcohol. I just bought a BURGUNDY MARINARA, and a Paul Newman's VODKA sauce. I've had good luck with MARSALA in my own homemade sauces... expensive, but nothing else has that taste. I've also pinch-hit a recipe by substituting ';sweet and cheap'; Riunite Lambrusco in a recipe that called for Burgundy that ended up earning me rave reviews at the table. There are no set rules; nothing written in stone...





The best rule of thumb I've ever heard about cooking with wine came from Jeff Smith, The Frugal Gourmet. He abhors ';cooking wine';, saying they're loaded with salt and taste horrible. His motto was this: ';NEVER COOK WITH A WINE YOU WOULDN'T DRINK IN A GLASS!'; ;-)What type of white wine would you normally use for cooking pasta sauces? Recipes don't say which one to use.?
I myself would use a red wine, nothing too fruity. Then your sauce will be sweet unless thats what you want. Yes, only use a wine that you will drink why would you want to use something (cheap) that you may not like?


bon apetit
The important thing is to use one you like as its going to effect the flavour of the sauce. You could try a pinot grigio. Something fresh and dry anyway.
search your answer on http://everydayblog.info/ . Hope you will get.
Cheapest you can find.
don't use the cheapest and don't use sweet or medium dry.
For Italian sauces, I'd go with a cheap Pinot Grigio. You won't want to drink them, trust me.
A medium white wine, typical vin de pay's
dry white, i usually use something drink with the meal.
The same wine that you will be serving to your guests is best.
Two things here. One, I use a red, and two, I do not cook with something I wouldn't drink myself.

i think they usually use sweet white wine in cooking
