Substitute for wine in pasta recipe?
This pasta recipe calls for about half a cup of dry white wine but I don’t want to use any alcohol in my cooking. Is there a substitute I can use or would it turn out okay if I just totally omit it? It’s an Italian pasta- with pesto, garlic, tomatoes, and cannellini beans. Thanks!
*For those saying the alcohol cooks out- it actually never completely cooks out- there is always some left, just less.

Wine is normally cooked off for flavor, so if you omit it you’ll be fine.
But again, it cooks off and leaves flavor. So it’s up to you if you still dont want to use it, good eating to you!
just get it right and use the wine.
what about chicken broth? that always adds flavor to anything. The flavor would probably be ok but you might need the moisture. Try the broth!
Omitting the wine will alter the taste. You can get non-alchoholic wine with all the taste and none of the buzz.
Chicken broth is a common substitute that will add flavor.
Most recipes have you cook off the alcohol in the wine so you’d probably be fine. Alternatively, there are plenty of ‘dealcoholised’ wines out there which would probably do the same.
Sorry, but the wine is obligatory. In Italy, you can face 3 months in jail for omitting it – and you’d deserve it.
The wine is what gives it flavor, and there aren’t any good substitutes. When you heat the wine, the alcohol is burned off anyway, so it won’t affect you. You should just use the wine.
The alcohol burns off when you cook it.
You could sub chicken stock with a bit of white wine vinegar for the acidity.
Use the dammn wine
Use the wine… the alcohol will evaporate during the cooking process! There are other aspects of the wine…like fluid volume, pH, and rendered flavors of the grapes that make the recipe what it is. It would not be unhealthy for you. Someone will tell you a substitute…but, it will not be the same!
PS I would be more afraid of the “Cannelli Beans”
Omitting the wine will not change anything. Never heard of those ingredients in an Italian dish, and I’m Italian.
When any alcohol boils, the alcoholic content is gone. In other words heat and boil, and you can’t get buzzed.
There are plenty of cooking wines available, with sodium added, that you wouldn’t want to drink, but the flavor remains and you can use it instead of salt in your recipe.
Chicken broth may be used but will flavor your dish differently.
I can’t think of any dry (non sweet) grape juice available.
Try using a wine vinagerette dressing. It should give it a pretty good flavor.
I know of Kens Steakhouse Red Wine Vinagerette dressing, i’ve used it in pastas before, but i’m not sure about any white wine ones.
ok use the wine if you can because it makes a huge difference but if you absolutely cannot then there are some options. the flavor the wine would add to the dish would be a “fruity tanginess” (it’s lovely) but the taste can sort of be faked if you add balsamic vinegar which is made from grapes, it’s not great but it’s “sort of…” Don’t add too much though.You might even try white wine vinegar.
Use the wine.
For all of you who are making comments about “just using the wine,” some people can’t “just use the wine” for various reasons. And that’s fine. Get over yourselves.
