White cream sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make white cream sauce? First of all, melt the butter. Place a piece of butter into a small ladle or saucepan with a thick bottom. Melt the butter over low heat until liquid. To make the butter melt faster, you can first cut it into small pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add cream to the butter in a saucepan. The cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage, the higher the calorie content of the dish. For sauces I use 20%. Mix the butter and cream thoroughly and cook the mixture for about seven minutes over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add a finely grated clove of garlic to the sauce. Salt and pepper the sauce to taste. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary. Rosemary can also be dried. Then you need about a quarter of a teaspoon. But in general, you can add whatever seasonings you like to the sauce.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cook the sauce over low heat for another couple of minutes, stirring constantly. There is no need to cover the saucepan with a lid.

5. STEP 5

   

   The sauce should thicken slightly and become more viscous. The sauce will become even thicker as it cools.

6. STEP 6

   

   Since this sauce tends to form a dense crust on the surface as it cools, it is usually not stored, but prepared immediately before serving. If you do not intend to use the sauce immediately, I recommend covering it with cling film in contact. To contact means to tightly lay the film directly on the surface of the sauce to block the access of air to the saucepan.

I made white cream sauce for spaghetti today. I took 10% cream. I didn’t add rosemary, but instead took ground nutmeg. It turned out tasty and aromatic. I made a small amount to try, but they asked me for more! I’m taking this simple and tasty sauce to note. Thanks for the great recipe!

The white sauce is prepared quickly - a maximum of 15 minutes. Really adds variety. We had a great time with the chicken.
