Mouth Watering White Sauce

One of my New Year’s Resolutions this year is to get creative with vegetables. This recipe incorporates a number of vegetables and even the pickiest of eaters will love this. In the words of my guy, ‘This is the best sauce you’ve made yet.’

XOXO,
Esra

Mouth Watering White Sauce

½ c mushrooms, chopped
½ c onion, chopped
1 c light cream
¼ c butter (I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)
1 clove garlic
4 oz gorgonzola cheese
4 oz cream cheese
¼ c red pepper, chopped
¼ c parsley
3 c fresh spinach
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 lb of scallops or the meat of your choice (I used scallops since that is what I had in my fridge)

In a large non-stick skillet, start to sauté the mushrooms and onions. After the mushrooms and onions start to soften, add the cream and butter. Let cream and butter simmer for 5 minutes. Add garlic, gorgonzola, cream cheese, red pepper, parsley, spinach (this would be the time to add the scallops or the pre-cooked meat). Continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes until all the cheese has melted.

Serve the sauce over pasta or you can add this sauce on top of a steak. If you like the taste of onions sprinkle green onions on top of your dish before serving.
