cook's notes

A spinach fettuccine is particularly attractive served with this white cream sauce and garnished with fresh red tomato sauces, colors of the Italian flag.

  1. Darla REVIEW:

    What a pretty pasta recipe! Loved the colors and fresh herbs. Very easy. I often have problems getting a cream sauce to thicken without using a cornstarch slurry or something but this thickened up pretty good on its own (all that butter I think!). My husband loved it and asked me to make it again soon!
