If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute with another dry white alcoholic beverage, such as vodka or gin.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the scampi, such as chopped mushrooms or zucchini.
For a richer flavor, use reserved pasta water in place of the chicken broth.
Serve with a side of garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
