Cheese and Nuts Cream Sauce Pasta Cheese and Nuts Cream Sauce Pasta
I came across with this delicious dish while traveling, and I made my own version using cream cheese instead of mascarpone. I used store-bought pasta, so it's different from the amazing handmade pasta they make in Italy, but I think the sauce tastes very similar to the one I had.Bacon and cheese are both salty, so taste the sauce before you season it with salt and pepper.Don't overcook the pasta.I think it's tastier if you add the pasta into the sauce rather than pouring the sauce over the pasta. So we always add the pasta into the sauce at home. Recipe by Brandy -

Pasta Genova with Cream Sauce Pasta Genova with Cream Sauce
I love Genovese sauce, and when I turned the genova sauce that I always stock in my fridge into a cream sauce, it became a sauce perfect for pasta and fish.Adding the garlic and oil to the pan before turning on the heat in step 2 will help prevent the garlic from burning.Constantly stir when adding and simmering the milk in step 5 to keep it from sticking to the pan.When bubbles start forming around the edges after 10 minutes, it is done.
