This is a tasty pasta dish. It is quick to make and will serve four nicely. I would have used linguine instead of spaghetti but didn't have any on hand. Chorizo or bacon could be substituted for the linguica. I served the pasta with a green salad.
For a wine I chose a Rombauer 2012 Carneros Chardonnay. It worked well with the cream in the sauce. It is great wine aged in oak that brings out a buttery taste of old style Chardonnay.
