This 5-minute pesto cream sauce is genius: just simmer pesto and cream until a thick sauce forms! It’s perfect for serving with pasta or fish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until it just starts to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Makes 1 cup, enough for 8 ounces of pasta. Mix it into pasta in a bowl, then add additional salt to taste.

Notes

*For a lower calorie version of this sauce, substitute whole or 2% milk.
