BASIL LEMON BUTTER CREAM SAUCE
This is a sauce recipe that was a frequent complement to chicken and fish during my study abroad residence experience with a french family in the Loire Valley region. Cream sauces are very popular paired with white and rosé wines in this geography, and this goes well over a thinly sliced breast of chicken, or a flaky whitefish. Although the sauce itself is somewhat fattening, if used conservatively it's actually a light and refreshing compliment to poultry and fish in the summer. If you absolutely feel the need to tone down the fat, be careful as you don't want the sauce to become too thin as it won't coat as nicely. Enjoy!

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.

BASIL BUTTER CREAM SAUCE
I threw this together one night when I had a craving for something salty and creamy. This is just the recipe for the basic sauce, but you can use it over anything from pasta, veggies, meat, or a combination of them all! This recipe makes alot, but it'll keep in the fridge for a week or so. I always finish all of it up within a week and I'm only one person! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! *Note: Make sure you use Dried Basil only or it wont tast right at all!

Tips:
- Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil, so it will give your sauce a more vibrant flavor.
- Don't overcook the butter. Be careful not to overcook the butter, as this will make the sauce brown and give it a burnt flavor. You want the butter to be melted and slightly browned, but not overcooked.
- Add the cream slowly. When you add the cream to the sauce, do it slowly and whisk constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the sauce to taste. Once you have added all of the ingredients to the sauce, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Basil butter cream sauce is best served immediately, while it is still warm and creamy. You can serve it over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Basil butter cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to dress up a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and fresh basil flavor, basil butter cream sauce is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering.
