Directions
Pesto Cream Sauce,Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.,I know everyone will scream “NOOO” but, with both whipping cream and butter, there is too much fat for us and I have to change something. I am considering substituting 1 cup coffee creamer for the 3/4 cup whipping cream + 1/4 cup water. The sauce will probably be too thin, is corn starch the best thickening agent?,I make a similar dish use a pesto sauce and 1 cup heavy whipping cream, and 3/4 cup chicken broth. I add a cup of Roma tomatoes and a diced pre-baked chicken breast. use the broth in place of water. I simmer the mixture until the liquid is reduced to preferred thickness. Pour over cooked pasta of choice and garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese and parsley
