Answers:
I have always found that a mix of pesto and alfredo makes a really good pasta sauce! It's creamy and super flavorful!Www@FoodAQ@Com

it'll taste ok!.!.!.it won't be as rich as building a sauce and using heavy cream!.!.!.try warming it in the microwave first so the two things you are mixing are closer to the same temp!.!.!.this should help it come together a little better!.!.it will be better for you at least!.!.!.should be about 1/2 the fat as using the heavy cream!.!.!. by the way the half and half works in things such as sweet potato pie, just add about a teaspoon of butter per each cup of half and half you use!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

make a roux= equal parts butter melt and whisk in an equal part flour and cook 2 minutes to get out flour taste

slowly heatthe half and half and then add the roux to thicken the half and half therwise it will be way too runny


also ad d some slat and pepper and pinchof nutmeg to round out the flavorWww@FoodAQ@Com

add the cream slowly till you have the consistancy you want and cook on a lower heat till the sauce slightly simmers!. also add some parmesan cheese to balance out the flavor of the cream!. Mix it with a thin pasta like angel hair or thin spaghettiWww@FoodAQ@Com
