Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, and sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Place the sub rolls on a baking sheet. Cut them open lengthwise without slicing all the way through.
