LEMON BASIL CREAM SAUCE
This is a cream sauce that is usually served over grilled salmon, but I use it over veggies and/or pasta. Very easy to make, BUT very fattening!!

CREAMY BASIL SAUCE
No actual cream is used. This is very nice over pasta. If you want you can also add some smoked salmon or chunks of tunafish.

BASIL CREAM SAUCE
After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.
