Can you use black pepper? I couldn't find white pepper at my local store. From what I read online, they are similar in taste, but white pepper is mostly used in white sauces to keep up appearance more than taste.

@mjterifaj

You're right about the appearance aspect but it does have a bit of a difference in taste in food considering it's like a powder and is a bit stronger. Sure you can use black pepper, it's not an appearance issue especially when there's pesto. Have you looked in your market's spice rack or better yet an Asian market?

looks great. what was the temp on the skillet?

[divinechef]

@firethower99

Sautee on medium or just below. The cream will bubble a little, but you don't want it to bubble too much otherwise it will evaporate (if that happens add a little more wine). Melt the parmesan cheese in the bubbling cream and then YUM. This is one of my favorites, enjoy!

If I want to serve for 4 how should I double the ingredients without messing up your tasty recipe?!

@FashionNirvana

I think that doubling the recipe will be fine, or use two skillets and prepare them at the same time. Thanks for watching.
