Very nice simple sauce - way too much salt in the recipe above though, and I love plenty of salt in my food. I would recommend about half a tsp. instead, or even less.
I did this as a pouring sauce over some white fish; I omitted the Parmesan, used black pepper and added more lemon juice though, as I just wanted a simple, fresh tasting sauce for fish that was creamy and didn't have wine in it. (I love wine in sauces but it can make a dish very expensive!)

Lovely sauce! I made it last night with shell pasta and shrimp. My husband loved it and it was really easy to make :) New favorite ...

Far too much salt in this recipe. Next time I make it I'll be using 1/4 tsp. Other than that, a fantastic sauce, we served it with tuna steaks and whole wheat rotini.

Not too salty! Use kosher or sea salt. A lot of recipes assume people will use kosher salt (which is a wrong assumption)

Didn't add extra salt. Very yummy sauce for chicken and whole wheat noodles. Added a parsley as well to sauce ;-).

Made this today and it was so good! I used sea salt... It wasn't too salty at all. I'll definitely make this again.

Shan (United States) says:

I made this and we loved it. I pressed in one extra clove of garlic. I agree w/ lessing the salt. I used 3/4 of a teaspoon but 1/2 would have been fine.

Timunm (United States) says:

Very good. Used more lemon and less cream for calories. Put in a tblspn or so of flour at the end for a thicker sauce. used it over linguine with steamed broccoli and shrimp scampi. Delicious. No added salt though.

Chris Phan (Ontario) says:

used kosher salt @1 1/4 tsp not too salty at all, you guys are probably using iodized table salt which is very salty....

Excellent sauce. Made with linguini and chicken Parmesan. Whole family, even the little ones, liked it. Will make again for sure.

Liza (Minnesota) says:

Great sauce, I reduced the cream a bit to thicken it, gave it just a shake of salt, and served over pasta. Looking forward to trying it with fish!
