About Cream sauce
Cream sauce is a rich and versatile condiment commonly used in French and Italian cuisines. Typically made with heavy cream, butter, and flour or cornstarch as a thickener, it often incorporates ingredients like garlic, cheese, and herbs to deepen flavor. Cream sauce forms the base of dishes like Alfredo pasta and chicken in white sauce, adding a comforting, velvety texture. While delicious, cream sauce is high in saturated fat and calories, making moderation key for maintaining a balanced diet. On the healthier side, it provides calcium from dairy and can be modified with lighter alternatives, such as low-fat milk or plant-based creams, to reduce fat content. Cream sauce pairs perfectly with vegetables, proteins, and pasta, making it a beloved but indulgent addition to many recipes. In mindful portions, it adds richness and a sense of indulgence to any meal.
