LF - basic white cheese sauce for pasta

[Guest guest]

Bought this book this weekend. It's full title is

 

the vegetarian homestyle cooking: a guide to heart-healthy lowfat eating

 

I've not tested any of the recipes. Not sure how this one would taste.

I have made similar -- it's the onion that I wonder about -- cook for " a minute "

-- might be a burpy sauce. I'd taste the onion before making the sauce.

Basic White Sauce for Pasta

 

Recipe By :Jeanne Tiberio

Serving Size : 5 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Lowfat Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 small onion -- finely chopped

1/2 cup white wine

2 tablespoons light cream cheese

preferably garlic or herb-flavored

1 1/2 tablespoons flour

1 1/4 cups lowfat 1% milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

dash white pepper -- or black pepper

 

Gather the ingredients on your counter so that you may add them quickly. The

sauce thickens quickly. The pasta should be started or cooked and waiting.

 

In a saucepan, simmer the onion in the wine for a minute. Add the cream cheese

while stirring. Then sprinkle the flour over the mixture, still stirring, as the

cheese melts. Add milk and seasoning; then continue stirring over medium heat

until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
