- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Heat butter in a medium saucepan over high heat; add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in pasta to coat with oil, then wine; cook until wine has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups stock and season with salt and pepper; cover saucepan and transfer to the oven to bake 15 minutes.
