Lovely and rich, this is a family favorite at my house. I typically serve it with grilled chicken breast, but the picture shows sliced rib eye.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 clove garlic, minced
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
1 c cream
2 c milk
salt & pepper, to taste
6 Tbsp (+) good quality basil pesto
1 box farfalle pasta

Steps:

  • 1. Boil pasta according to package directions.
  • 2. While pasta is cooking, heat butter over medium heat in a heavy saute pan. Add garlic and cook until lightly golden and fragrant. Don't turn your heat up too high, or your garlic will become bitter.
  • 3. Add flour to butter and garlic, stirring quickly with a whisk. Cook this roux about 3-5 minutes, or until it is golden.
  • 4. Add cream and milk, stirring constantly. Whisk until all lumps are gone.
  • 5. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Now you have a basic bechamel sauce.
  • 6. Continue to simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the sauce until the thickness is to your liking.
  • 7. When sauce has thickened, remove from heat and add pesto, stirring well. Serve over hot pasta.

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
