Best Cream Sauce for Pasta

Pasta in a simple decadent cream sauce with a hint of pesto sauce …. bella!

This is from a recipe card I picked up at my favorite store that always has the best food demos and samples…would you believe the original added lobster, but can be served on it’s own or as a side…this is very, very, very good…..

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pasta
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup grated Parmigiana
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup pesto (less is better)

Directions:

1. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente; drain.
2. In large skillet melt butter, stir in cream and pepper. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add parmigiana, stirring until thoroughly mixed.
4. Blend in pesto and cook 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
5. Serve over pasta.

(Try this sauce with kind of pasta, ravioli, gnocchi)
