Cream Sauce Recipes

This is best served with whole wheat fettucini. Goes well with chicken or salmon. Or simply serve as is for a meatless meal that is quite filling. Add a side of steamed broccoli and mushrooms and serve strawberries topped with whipped cream for desert.

I love using this on Mexican dishes in place of sour cream. It also makes a great dressing on taco salads.

If you like spicy foods, give this one a try. I'm sure those that don't like spicy foods could play with the ingredients to make it less fiery! Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning to making it hotter or milder.

Crisp-tender chicken in the most amazing cream sauce ever. It's so good, you'll want to guzzle down the sauce!

Add all ingredients into blender/processor until smooth. Pour over warm zucchini (zoodles).

Comfort food at its finest

Fresh Zucchini in a sour cream based light cream sauce.

My adaptation of Elise's recipe, making a lighter but still delicious easy dinner.

If you' re not a fan of goat cheese, try the recipe with Boursin or low-fat cream cheese. You can also add a grating of Parmesan cheese before serving, if desired.

An easy-to-prepare chicken dish that the whole family will love!

Great served with rice.

A light creamy filling is nestled in a tender crust and topped with a light strawberry sauce.

Great with chicken or fish

Very easy skillet dish that is quite versatile. The original says to add 2 T butter which I replaced with Olive Oil and it said 1/2 C Roasted Red Pepper which I omited :)

Seems decadent but pair this generous helping with a steamed veggie and dinner comes in around 350 calories!

This rich, creamy pasta sauce was the result of an experiment. We wanted to make a creamy, mushroom-y pasta topping with no cream. We're trying to watch our diet a little better, and while we were eating pasta there was no need to indulge in cream, right?
The creaminess and thickness in a sauce can come through many methods. One of these is cream - the common ingredient of Alfredo and other cream sauces. Some pasta toppings, like carbonara, use eggs to thicken and give richness.
One lighter option is a roux, or flour-thickened, sauce. We had seen this dismissed as too difficult. Pshaw! A roux is nothing more than a little butter and flour, cooked over low heat until the flour grains swell. Then they are whisked together with hot liquid, the grains swell to thicken the sauce and voilá! You have thick, creamy pasta sauce without too much fat.
The bulk of this sauce is white wine, broth, and mushrooms. We don't use a lot of wild mushrooms - they are expensive, and just a few will do here to give flavor.
The result? Silky, thick and creamy pasta sauce - full of toothsome mushrooms and a little green parsley. The flavor of wine, wild mushrooms, and black pepper predominate - and it's not too fattening! Leaves you an excuse for plenty of cheese...

I just started this journey to healthy eating and I'm loving the hunt for the type of food I use to eat, but a bit healthier.
This is something I made this evening and I found it to be very good. Now, what kind of person would I be if I didn't share a cream sauce without butter to other? I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
