No actual cream is used. This is very nice over pasta. If you want you can also add some smoked salmon or chunks of tunafish.

BASIL CREAM SAUCE



Basil Cream Sauce image

After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

RICH BASIL PASTA SAUCE



Rich Basil Pasta Sauce image

The ingredients are very simple but the flavor is very rich and deep. My mom told me to make a pasta sauce with some fresh basil she had on hand. I searched everywhere for something simple with simple ingredients and couldn't find anything so I created this. I used it with spaghetti but works will with any pasta. It's very good!! I like to mix the milk with whipped chive flavored cream cheese for extra kick.
