all that you do with the butter is brush it on the angel hair. When I first thought of this I just said a pesto sauce, but my friend almost hurt herself testing it (lactose intolerant!) It just lets them know that there is butter in it. I don't know about wines, but I serve it up with homemade grapejuice, preferrably any white variety, as it helps to cut through and compliment the bleu cheese.
