My husband and I love this with Spinach noodles. I pair it with a meat or sprinkle a little bacon on top. Make sure the add the cream last. Really it is a better if you add just a little flour (tiny bit) and make a roux. Over medium heat (or so) let it bubble for a while while whisking it. Then reduce the heat and slowly add the cream while continuing to whisk. I approximate and it works great. If you do it this way it stays creamy and doesn't separate into a greasy glob that doesn't want to reheat properly and re-cream. :) It is super fast.

I find this recipe very convenient for a guilty pleasure! I do add flour to thicken it, or -even better, but not as white- bread crumbs!

Great! Beats jar stuff hands down. Used garlic powder instad of pressed. Would thicken with flour as the others said when I do it again.

Flour doesn't belong in pasta sauce. That's what they use to stretch the store bought stuff so they don't need to cook it for as long to let it thicken.

Pasta is made from flour so nothing wrong with using a little flour to thicken sauce as required. :)

Just tried this recipe for linguine with mushroom, tomato and prawn and it came out amazingly well! This is by far the best cream sauce I've tried! Thanks so much!!

This was perfect for me. Exactly what I was looking for, for a fast, simple and tasty cream sauce. You could probably even add a bit of cajun seasoning to spice it up a bit for a little change once in a while.

This sauce is great when you want to change up the normal meal. I actually use a variation of the recipe to match what I have; for example the cream is sometimes evaporated milk. However, using this as a base you won't go wrong. I love it with broccoli and chicken.

I allow I may have made a mistake, but this did not turn out at all. It did not blend, and I couldn't serve it.
