I have a ton of pasta in my cupboard and I'm feeling ambitious enough to make my own sauce instead of buying it. I'm allergic to any kind of peppers and am not a big fan of tomatoes....are there any good and EASY (I'm not the world's best chef) cream or cheese based pasta recipes that I can make?What are some good pasta sauce recipes?
Cream based sauces are quite easy. Pour some cream into pan and turn onto high so it reduces and thickens. At the same time you can just about throw in anything (heaps of garlic is always great and a dash of white wine or brandy). Add any or combination of ham, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, snow peas, asparagus, zucchini, capsicum. When thickened pour into bowl and top with fresh parmesan cheese. Voila 10 min. later. Hope gives you a creative flair and very rarely no fail.What are some good pasta sauce recipes?

A fantastic but unusual sauce is crushed toasted walnuts, Mascarpone cream cheese, and garlic. The smell of the walnuts slowly fried in frypan with a touch of butter is magnificent. Report Abuse

* 55 g pine nuts
* 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
* salt and pepper to taste
* 240 g light cream
DIRECTIONS
1. In a food processor, combine basil and garlic. Begin processing, and pour in olive oil in a thin stream. Process for about 40 seconds, or until mixture begins to emulsify. Add pine nuts and Parmesan, then blend for 1 minute.
2. Heat cream in a saucepan over low heat until simmering. Pour 1/2 of the hot cream into the processor with basil pesto, and pulse for 20 seconds to incorporate. Pour mixture back into cream, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Can't get any easier than this: buy a can of Chunky New England Clam Chowder soup. Thin it down with water or milk %26amp; toss with pasta. You can also throw in precooked shrimp (the canned salad shrimp are good) and crab meat and top with parmesan cheese. You'll be amazed how impressive your ';Seafood Pasta'; turns out with very little effort %26amp; time.
