Introduction

This is a really easy and quick pasta sauce that makes a nice change from tomato sauce or pesto. It's from Stefano de Pieri's 'A Gondola on the Murray' and is easy to adapt to what you have around the kitchen, eg I made it without the onion and cheese, and with dried basil, and it was still v tasty. It's quite rich because of the cream, and would work well as a starter/entree as well as a main.
