I was quite surprised how many people asked for this recipe when I posted this photo on IG & FB. So, 10 months after my last post, we finally have a new entry on SingerTravelista.com (more like SingerStayAtHomeDuringThePandemicWithTheBaby 🙂 )

This cream sauce is one of my very favorites because it is so easy to make. It tastes as if you’re at a very nice restaurant (minus the steep price, plus you get to control the ingredients!).

Over the years I looked at many recipes, simplified them and made my own version (this is what I always do with recipes, haha). I use whatever pasta I have on hand (in the photo below it’s actually potato gnocchi), and usually make cheese bread on the side.

• ground pepper to taste
  

Directions

On a medium-high heat in a pan melt butter until it starts bubbling

add crushed garlic, stir and cook for about a minute, then add salt

add cream, stir, and bring to almost boiling, turn off the heat OPTIONAL

add nutmeg, paprika, chopped up parsley, and Parmesan, and stir

It’s ready! Pour over your favorite pasta or you can bring the pasta/gnocchi straight into the pan and gently stir.

Hope you enjoy it, and please let me know if you make it!

It’s fun to change things up occasionally, so I also use mushrooms. Any mushrooms will do. I have used regular white or Cremini or Shitake or Chanterelle or… whatever you like! 🙂

In this photo it is Tuscan Seggiano pasta with oyster mushrooms.


And in the photo below it is potato gnocchi with shitake mushrooms.
