Instructions
Cook pasta in about 3 quarts boiling water until just barely tender to bite, 7 to 9 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan, combine onion, garlic, and butter. Stir often over medium-high heat until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
Add neufchtel cheese and stir until melted, about 3 minutes. Stir broth and wine into pan and mix until blended.
Add basil and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add pasta to sauce and stir until pasta is coated with sauce. If sauce gets too thick, stir in a little water to thin. Spoon onto plates.
Add parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste.
