PASTA ESSENTIALS: CREAMY GARLIC/PARMA SAUCE

Pasta Essentials: Creamy Garlic/Parma Sauce image

This is another recipe that was created for my New Year's party. My main photo shows the sauce over shrimp and pasta. In truth, it would work brilliantly with any seafood... Yummy stuff. The sauce can be made the same day; or it can be made 2 - 3 days before and refrigerated until needed. I usually make it the day before because it saves time while preparing the other dishes. And need I say that it is bursting with the fresh flavors of garlic, lemon, and parmesan. Use it with pasta, shrimp, fish; even drizzle over eggs. Up to you. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted
4 clove(s) garlic, finely minced, or grated
2 tablespoon(s) flour, all-purpose variety
1 cup(s) whole milk
1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
3/4 cup(s) parmesan cheese, grated
2 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice, freshly squeezed, or more to taste
salt, kosher variety, to taste
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste
additional liquid (water, milk, chicken stock) as needed, more on this later
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1 tablespoon(s) smooth brown mustard, i prefer grey poupon
5 - 6 small capers, smashed, and finely chopped
14 ounce(s) diced tomatoes (1 can), fully drained, to make a creamy tomato sauce
1 - 2 pinch(es) cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat

Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
You will need a large saucepan, or heavy-bottomed pot to make this recipe. I have a small Dutch oven that is perfect for making sauces like this.
Additional Liquid I have found that in most cases, you will probably want to thin the sauce down a bit, and the way to accomplish that is with a bit more liquid. You could use water, more milk, or chicken stock. In my opinion, chicken stock it the best, it gives the sauce a bit more depth and flavor.
Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Add the butter to a pot over medium heat and allow to completely melt.
While the butter is melting, finely grate the garlic.
Grate the parmesan.
Add the garlic to the pot.
Stir until fragrant, about 60 - 90 seconds.
Add the flour to the pot and stir to make a roux.
Add the milk and cream, then bring up to a lite simmer, and allow to slightly thicken, about 3 - 5 minutes. Then add the cheeses to the pot.
Set the heat to low and slowly stir.
Keep stirring until the cheeses are completely melted into the sauce, about 5 - 6 minutes. Add the lemon juice plus salt and pepper, to taste.
At this point you can add any of the optional items.
Do a final tasting for proper seasoning, and either store in the fridge until needed, or serve while nice and warm.
PLATE/PRESENT
Serve with pasta, seafood, eggs, whatever suits your fancy. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 c chicken stock
1/2 lb spaghetti or angel hair pasta
1 c grated parmesan cheese
3/4 c heavy cream
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

1. In a pot, bring the olive oil to medium-low heat. Add the garlic and stir, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes. Mix in the butter until melted. Add the salt, pepper and chicken stock. Raise the heat to high and let it come to a boil.
2. Once it is at a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook for as long as the box's directions say. You want it aldente'. I always do the shorter time. Reduce the stove to medium heat and mix in the parmesan until completely melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream and parsley. Sprinkle with some parmesan and serve immediately. ( I heat the cream a little in the micro before adding, but do not boil)
3. You can add so many foods to this. I just like it plain and simple as always.
