BASIL CREAM SAUCE
1 cup fresh basil, loosely packed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon pine nuts
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 ounces Romano cheese, freshly grated
SALMON PILLOWS

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
cornstarch
24 won ton wrappers
1 large egg white, beaten
chopped red onion
chopped tomatoes
capers
directions
For Basil Cream Sauce: Process basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic and white pepper in a food processor until basil is finely chopped.
Combine half and half and whipping cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, but do not boil. Whisk in basil mixture and Romano. Heat until cheese melts. Keep warm.
For Salmon Pillows: Process salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice and white pepper in a food processor. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and lightly sprinkle with cornstarch.
Place 1 rounded teaspoon of salmon mixture in the center of a won ton wrapper. Place on prepared baking sheet and fold in half diagonally, pressing edges to release any air. Brush and seal edges with egg white. Repeat with remaining won tons.
Cook in batches in a large pot of boiling water, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to serving plate. Top with sauce and garnish with red onion, tomatoes and capers.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
