Delicious Pesto Cream Sauce image

This is a great sauce for pasta. We like cappelini, penne, or fettucini. Add shrimp or crawfish for a complete meal with a crisp green salad and some hot, buttered French bread. I make my own pesto and freeze in ice cube trays. This recipe calls for 2 cubes. Enjoy!

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I added some milk to thin it out a bit.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

The sauce is a little heavy, so I usually serve it over whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles to balance it out.
