- Tossed with pasta
- Drizzled over chicken
- Used as a base for casseroles
- Served with vegetables
To use, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling the sauce, as this can affect its texture and flavor. Once heated through, you can pour it directly over cooked pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. It can also be used to coat cooked chicken or seafood, or as a flavorful layer in baked dishes like lasagna or gratins. For a thinner consistency, a small amount of milk or pasta water can be added during heating.
