What Today?

Pink sauce is like the best of both worlds (no not the hannah montana song, got it stuck in your head now though don'cha). Pink sauce is delicious, cream sauce + tomato sauce = YUM. Sometimes I feel like cream sauce alone is too heavy, this is a good answer.

Ingredients:

1 cup good tomato sauce (I use homemade, if you want that recipe let me know)
2 cups half and half
2 T butter
2 T flour
salt, pepper and garlic


Melt butter in a pan and add flour. Whisk on low heat for 2 minutes. Add milk a little bit at a time allowing for the sauce to thicken with each addition(keep wisking!) Add tomato sauce and seasonings and bring back up to temperature. This was really good on the ravioli but also on chicken and eggplant. An easy recipe for these is to dredge them in flour, salt and pepper. (DREDGE means to put it in a pan of flour and shake it off for a light coating). Then fry each in a thin layer of oil at a medium high heat. Delicious with a nice crust.



Enjoy!
