I use pre-made or prepared pesto to make this easy creamy sauce. Pesto concentrate also works great. It's a very simple and really tasty sauce. Great over pasta, veggies, and chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons pesto , or more to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in heavy cream. Add flour and mix well to remove clumps. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Stir sour cream and pesto into the saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring, until flavors combine, 2 to 3 minutes more.
