Pasta Sauce

I invented a pasta sauce! Try it out! This makes about a cup of sauce, and all amounts are guestimated (Except butter), because I cook by smell. When I was finished mixing, I could smell all the herbs plainly in the mixture, but none where overwhelming. (If that's any help.) Every time I make the sauce it comes out different. For a low fat version, substitute olive oil for the butter. Olive oil, however, has a distinctive flavor, and more herbs need to be added to cover it up.

1 stick of melted butter
1 tablespoon garlic powder (Or 4 cloves crushed garlic)
1 teaspoon of basil
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoon heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon white cooking wine
1 pinch pepper

1. Melt a cup of butter or margarine in the microwave. Make sure you don't burn it, but it is melted all the way.
2. Add garlic. I have given more garlic then most people might use, because i like garlic. Mix thoroughly
3. Add other ingredients one at a time, mixing after each one completely. Make sure the butter is still hot when you add the cream and wine.
4. Add the pepper last and mix again, do not let the cream settle out of the mixture.
5. Pour over hot, completely drained noodle and stir.
6. Salt to taste.
