Pasta and a Feta Cheese Based Alfredo Sauce

A Friday in Lent and I'm looking for a non-meat dish. Why not pasta with an Alfredo Sauce?  Great!  But I have a twist on it. I know that the main cheese used in an Alfredo Sauce is Parmesan. But years ago, I developed this sauce using Feta cheese. 

Step 1:  cook up your pasta. 

Step 2:  the sauce

2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon flour
4 ounces Feta cheese
1/4 pint cream
2 teaspoons white wine
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

In a sauce pan, make a roux with the butter amend flour. Medium low heat. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Crumble the Feta cheese into the pan. Slowly add white wine. Then cream. Then Parmesan cheese. Add more salt and pepper to taste. 

Parsley is a good addition to this. So are vegetables like asparagus. 

Spread sauce over pasta to serve.
