This was easy, quick, and yummy...I used some bleu cheese & added walnuts. My husband had seconds. Excellent

Even with few ingredients this sauce was rich, creamy with just the right amount of sage and slight hint of garlic. I thought it was downright fabulous! I made this as written and in no time at it was on the table ready to serve. I served it over mushroom and ricotta ravioli. This is one great creamy pasta sauce that would pair well with any type of pasta. I will be making this again for sure!

Best cream sauce I've ever had. Super easy to make...almost fool-proof.

This is sinfully delicious. Great over some herb pappardelle pasta as a side for a pork tenderloin. Only thing I might change next time is to increase the sage, but that is because mine wasn't very strong.
