Pasta Cream Sauce Recipes

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...

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

This was so easy to make, my family loved it and if you sever it with some crusty warm bread and a salad it is the ideal meal

Holy moly, my husband is a keeper. This recipe is , too~ but just don't eat it very often!
yowza

A vegan vodka "cream" sauce that tastes incredibly close to the real thing, but even better! I add mushrooms because I love them!

Shrimp scallops

Use whatever veggies are on hand for this delicious and light pasta sauce.

Really tasty on spinach tortellini!

Keto Friendly Chicken and Pasta

Lemon cream pasta sauce ala "French women don't get fat." I tweaked it a little for my own taste. I usually use farafelle or whole wheat fettuccine.

Autumn just makes me crave warm, creamy dishes, winter squashes, and aromatic seasonings. This dish has all of those!

I made the original recipe for my mom on Mother's Day a couple of years ago and it was so good that I tried to make a lower-fat version. The key here is Emeril's Essence--I keep a jar of it for use as a rub for grilling.

Easy for any pasta

My version of those nasty pasta and sauce packages.

First make the tomato and cream sauce and then add the cooked pasta in it.

Great as a main dish or a side in a smaller portion. Have also used as a 'pasta course' in a several course meal. . .

You can use a fresh turkey sausage with this as well. . .doesn't work so well with chicken. Nutritional value will be enhanced if you use a whole wheat or 'smart Taste' pasta. . .

I've also tried with canned diced tomatoes which didn't work so well.

This was really fast, and really easy with delicious results.

Serve with Cesar Salad and use leftovers as a side to a meat dish, delish!

This recipe can be modified to include different kinds of pasta, as well as different tomato sauces and creams. We've used half and half, but have also used heavy cream at times. Easy recipe that doesn't take long, and it's DELICIOUS!

Kind of, how could you say it, indulgent, but so very good. And you could always lighten it up using milk instead of cream.

from the blog "Oh She Glows" . This is delicious, and can be eaten warm or cold.
