Delicious Pesto Cream Sauce image

This is a great sauce for pasta. We like cappelini, penne, or fettucini. Add shrimp or crawfish for a complete meal with a crisp green salad and some hot, buttered French bread. I make my own pesto and freeze in ice cube trays. This recipe calls for 2 cubes. Enjoy!

This sauce is a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using more broth and less cream.

This pesto cream sauce is incredibly rich and creamy, with a bright, herbaceous flavor. I used it to top some grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was also very easy to make, and I will definitely be making it again.
