Answer 2

Here's a basic white sauce recipe. You can add ingredients to make it special. I would suggest pesto, cheese, roasted red peppers, other veggies or anything else that would go with the dish you're pairing the sauce with.

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 cup water
2 tablespoons stick margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Combine dry milk and water, and set mixture aside.
Melt the margarine in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, and add flour, salt, and pepper. Cook margarine mixture 1 minute, stirring constantly with a whisk. Gradually add milk mixture to saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, 10 additional minutes or until thick and bubbly. (Mixture will be very thick.)

Answer 3

Ingredients
1/2 stick butter

4 cloves minced garlic (You can also use the pre-chopped kind that comes in a jar)

1 cup heavy cream

4 T chopped parsley

to taste cayenne pepper (makes the sauce turn pink)

2 t freshly ground pepper

to taste salt

1.5 cups shredded asiago cheese (or freshly shredded parmesan)

cooked pasta of choice



Instructions
Boil the water for the pasta (I've been using angel hair, and I'm terrible at measuring it -- the sauce is enough for 2-3 servings I think). Add pasta when it starts boiling. Melt the butter in a large pan, saute garlic briefly, but don't let it brown. Add cream, parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Stir with a whisk to combine and cook until heated through and it starts to thicken. Gradually add cheese and stir (once you add the cheese, you should stir with something besides a whisk). When the pasta is al dente (firm, not tough, but not completely soft), drain and add it to the sauce. Stir, making sure pasta is coated and cook gently until the sauce has absorbed into the pasta somewhat. Serve topped with a little extra cheese and parsley.
I REALLY like the cayenne pepper in it, and I hadn't seen any recipes with that variation. Be generous, but make sure you taste it as you go.
