I'm looking for a sauce for pasta that isn't a tomato sauce, or have any type of lemon or mushroom in it. Maybe a simple wine sauce that's not too strong but has a nice flavor to it, it's for a pasta with mostly vegetables and chicken. I don't mind garlic or onions, but I need something that can spice up what can be a very boring pasta dish.

I am allergic to tomatoes, so I have some alternatives.
Sautee onions and garlic in a little olive oil until translucent, add some spinach or swiss chard, and cook until wilted. Add salt, fresh ground pepper, and turn off the heat. Melt some cream cheese in the heat left in the pan. Thin with a little milk, if desired.
Sautee garlic and onion in butter. Add parsely, rosemary, and thyme (fresh is best) Stir in some veggie stock and let simmer until reduces. Thicken with a little cornstarch disolved in water, or a couple of tablespoons of fresh cream
Alfredo sauce-sautee some garlic and onion in olive oil. Stir in 2 cups milk, 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese and some fresh basil. Stir until melted
Pesto sauce. In a blender or food processor, whiz together a few handfuls of fresh basil, some garlic, salt, pepper, and a handfull of pine nuts. Add olive oil until desired consistancy

Try blending an alfredo sauce with a little marinara. The result is a heavenly creamy and flavorful sauce that goes with just about anything. You might also consider a pesto sauce, which is basil, olive oil, pignolia nuts, and fresh parmesan....very very good!

How about an aflredo sauce or a cheese sauce both of which they sell in the same aisle as regular spagetti sauce.
