Ingredients
-
12 oz nonfat evaporated milk
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 shallots, chopped
1/2 c milk
1 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp neufchatel cheese
1/4 c grated parmesean cheese
salt & pepper to taste
mushrooms (optional)
shrimp (optional)
precooked chicken (optional)
Directions
Put the garlic, shallots, and evaporated milk into a pan and heat for 10-15 minutes until garlic and shallots are tender.
Pour the evaporated milk into a blender and add the milk and neufchatel cheese and blend for 30 seconds until smooth.
Pour the milk mixture back into the pan and add the parmesean cheese. Stir until melted. Add salt & pepper to taste.
At this point the sauce is done and ready to be served over pasta. However, I added fresh sliced mushrooms, some precooked chicken breast, and a few raw shrimp for my son and husband. I first added the mushrooms and cooked them for approx. 5 minutes before adding the chicken and shrimp, which only needed 3-4 minutes. Served over spinach pasta with a side of steamed asparagus...super yummy!
Serving Size: Makes 2-3 servings of sauce
