1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 cup white wine

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less butter and cream.

I'm not a big fan of raisins in savory dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked in this recipe. The sweetness of the raisins balanced out the salty cheese and nutty pine nuts.
