LOU'S PESTO CREAM SAUCE

Lou's Pesto Cream Sauce image

After growing tons of basil and trying lots of pesto recipes, I settled on two. This one is a pasta sauce. Use of a mortar and pestal is a must. After making it 3 times with a small marble set, I broke down and got an 8" granite set from ImportFood,com, Thai Market.

PESTO CREAM SAUCE

Pesto Cream Sauce image

Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.

CREAMY PESTO SAUCE

Creamy Pesto Sauce image

Lovingly known as just 'green spaghetti' in our family, this pesto is unique because of the addition of cream cheese which gives it a great creamy texture (plus no pine nuts!).
