Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce
It’s good to have a few basic sauce recipes in your recipe box. You never know when you might want to whip up a quick pasta or veggie dish that needs a tasty sauce.
I have several that I go to repeatedly, and this Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce is one of my favorites! It’s pretty decadent, so I usually have it over veggies. It is especially delicious on spaghetti squash! Not that I won’t have this sauce on orzo or other pasta when I’m feeling a little indulgent, or for company.
This sauce comes together quickly, so it’s perfect for a weeknight or last minute meal.

Can corn starch be used instead of flour?

Yes.

Would this work with subbing a keto friendly flour such as coconut flour? possibly with an additional thickener, like Xanthium gum? thanks!

Hi Dawn, I haven’t tried it, but I think it would be good.
