PESTO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe - Food.com 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.

Total Time 15 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Heat heavy whipping cream and water in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  • Add butter, pesto sauce, garlic powder and salt. Reduce heat and continue to cook about 5 more minutes over low heat.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until melted.
