How people cook with it
This sauce is a versatile base for many pasta dishes. It can also be used to add creaminess to other savory recipes.
- Tossed with pasta
- Dipped with bread
- Coated on chicken
- Mixed into vegetables
To use, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. Avoid boiling the sauce, as this can affect its creamy consistency. Once heated, pour it over your favorite cooked pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. It can also be incorporated into casseroles, used as a topping for baked chicken or fish, or stirred into cooked vegetables to add a rich, creamy element. For a thinner sauce, a small amount of milk or pasta water can be added during heating.
