Basic White sauce

The following is a recipe of a simple version of white sauce that you can use over pasta or ravioli or Au Gratin or as a dip for vegetables. I most often have this over spinach and cheese ravioli from Costco. That was when I started making this more often. It could get very heavy on your tummy, since the sauce itself has cream and butter as the main ingredients. Nevertheless a try to savor your taste buds to this yummy treat. 


You need
Heavy cream
Butter - 1 tablespoon
Salt
Pepper
Garlic cloves - 2 (finely chopped)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
White wine - 2 tablespoons


Method
  • In a pan start with butter and add the garlic cloves and sauté along with red pepper flakes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, salt and pepper and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Add the wine towards the end and cook for a few minutes and switch off.
  • Serve over pasta/ravioli
Variations - Sauté finely chopped mushrooms and add it to white sauce
