- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces Banza pasta

- Don't like goat cheese? Feel free to substitute with another cheese like mozzarella; or if you are dairy-free, feel free to leave the cheese off or use dairy-free cheese shreds!
- I used Banza Pasta for this recipe to amp up the protein and fiber in this dish! It helps keep me full for longer!
