WHITE SAUCE FOR PASTA
My husband lived in Italy for 3 years, so he's really picky about his Italian cuisine! I needed a great meal that was super-quick one night for his dinner; I had spicy battered shrimp on hand that I wanted to use and a couple choices of dried pasta. This sauce sounded perfect to tie it all together! Served over tortiglioni pasta with salad and toasted Italian bread. Just like I spent all day on dinner. It is really hard to mess-up this kind of white sauce. In my opinion, it was very much like an Alfredo sauce! Of course there is very little difference in the two sauces.

Tips:
- Use a good quality butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your white sauce. Look for a butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high butterfat content.
- Don't overheat the butter. If you overheat the butter, it will brown and give your white sauce a burnt flavor. Melt the butter over low heat, and stir it constantly.
- Use a whisk to stir the sauce. This will help to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add the milk gradually. Don't pour all of the milk into the sauce at once. Add it in small increments, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for extra flavor.
- Use the sauce immediately. White sauce is best when it is freshly made. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
White sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and creaminess to your favorite recipes. With these tips, you can easily make a delicious white sauce at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meal, give white sauce a try!
