BASIL CREAM SAUCE
After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. This is especially true for the lemon juice and basil.
- Don't boil the sauce: Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle. Instead, heat it over low heat until it is just simmering.
- Season the sauce to taste: Use salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Lemon cream sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but it will lose some of its flavor.
Conclusion:
Lemon cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, seafood, and chicken. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or bread. With its bright and lemony flavor, lemon cream sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
