I know a recipe is absolutely delicious when my husband asks for it continuously. I made this easy creamy basil sauce recipe one night when I I made my favorite Tomato Cream Rigatoni. He struggles with heart burn so he tries to stay away from tomatoes as much as he can. I whipped this creamy sauce up in minutes and he absolutely loved it. So did I and since then I’ve been making it weekly. It’s so simple and perfect served with al dente pasta (my fav is tagliatelle). It’s also scrumptious served over pan-seared chicken breasts, pork and salmon.
Ingredients
Cream. Heavy / Whipping cream. Onion. Garlic. Fresh basil. Dried herbs. I used oregano and parsley but rosemary, herbs de Provence and sage will also work. Lemon juice. Salt and pepper. Pasta.

Can basil cream sauce be made ahead?
This sauce can be made a few days ahead and be kept sealed in the refrigerator. To re-heat, pour into a pan and allow to come to a simmer gently.
