Saffron Alfredo image

This is a base sauce for other recipes and can be modified to fit almost any white sauce recipe. It is a sauce you can freeze and use at a later time. It thickens into a paste as it cools; use only a tablespoon or two per meal that you are making. I use this sauce as a base for my shrimp diablo.
