The title says it all. This is a base sauce that you can elaborate on in many different ways. You could add tomatoes, onions, prosciutto, etc. This time around I had some leftover pasta, and I wanted something fast. If you have time, it’s nice to add chicken or shrimp. I have made this with shrimp before, and it was delicious. I will include that recipe after the sauce recipe. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
2 cups whipping cream |
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced or 1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) |
Directions:
1. You can use a pan or a pot. I used a pot this time, but whenever I do shrimp or chicken I use a pan.
2. Add cream.
3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Add basil, cheese, pepper and pepper flakes.
5. Pour sauce into a bowl; add pasta and toss well.
