DELICIOUS PESTO CREAM SAUCE
This is a great sauce for pasta. We like cappelini, penne, or fettucini. Add shrimp or crawfish for a complete meal with a crisp green salad and some hot, buttered French bread. I make my own pesto and freeze in ice cube trays. This recipe calls for 2 cubes. Enjoy!

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.

PESTO CREAM SAUCE
This pesto cream sauce can have chicken added to it for a heartier meal or be made as is and is great served at a potluck or bbq cold or warm. Warm is best though. It would be awesome served with grilled chicken or vegetables. Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth paste to make this vegetarian.

When the ingredients are well blended, pour them into a bowl and add the grated cheeses. (If combining the pesto with pasta, add a tablespoon of the cooking water to the pesto to thin out.)
HEALTHY CREAMY PESTO SAUCE
This is a recipe I make over and over--it's simple, fast, healthy, inexpensive and good for any season/occasion. I love creamy pesto sauces over pasta, but ya know those sauces ain't so healthy: high in fat, sodium, or both. Even those little packets of creamy pesto sauce in the "gravy" aisle aren't good for you. This sauce is better for you and even faster to make than one of those packets! You can adjust to taste or what you have on hand: I've used fat-free yoghurt, low fat yoghurt and (my favourite) homemade yoghurt--you can buy fresh at an Indian grocer. The recipe makes about a cup, which you can mix with cooked chicken or sauteed mushrooms (or both, like I do!) or steamed clams or steamed veggies and pour over enough cooked pasta for 2-4 people. I'll post other recipes with some of my favourite uses, but be creative!

LEMON-BUTTER PESTO CREAM SAUCE
This was a tasty spur-of-the-moment creation. The sauce is sort of a hybrid between lemon-butter and carbonara. I ate it served on pasta with chicken, mushrooms, and broccoli, but it can go with any white pasta dish. Also, when I create dishes, I have a habit of eyeballing the amounts of ingredients, so the measurements are approximate.

CREAMY PESTO SAUCE
Lovingly known as just 'green spaghetti' in our family, this pesto is unique because of the addition of cream cheese which gives it a great creamy texture (plus no pine nuts!).
