1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

2 cups irish white cheddar cheese, grated or 2 cups extra sharp white cheddar cheese
3/4 cup fresh frozen peas, may be used do not use canned
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter in the oil. Add the carrots and cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and the cabbage starts to brown, about 20 minutes.

Stir in the cheddar and adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the peas and linguine, then transfer to a serving dish.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pasta dish. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and crisp, and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes a pasta dish special. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of acidity and richness.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to pasta dishes. Try different types of pasta, sauces, and vegetables to find your favorite combinations.

Conclusion:

Pasta is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can create a pasta dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for some pasta and your favorite sauce.
