It sounds very similar to yours @Mrs. Detour: ! It was thin, lots of cheese flavor, some kind of Italian herbs, roasted garlic, teeny bits of mushrooms, and red pepper flakes and cracked black pepper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1867057 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 20:19:59 +0000 Maysprout 1867057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Yay, glad you liked it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866848 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:35:34 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1866848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make the exact recipe @Torchwood: posted. It is nice since it isn't as heavy as Alfredo but has a great zing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866834 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:23:45 +0000 Jess1483 1866834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: You inspired me to make a cream sauce for dinner and you were totally right about the nutmeg! I would have never thought of that. Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866813 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:54:44 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1866813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually the base of a white pasta sauce is just a bechamel. There are lots of recipes online. Then you can add almost anything you want to it-- cheese, spice, veggies. I bet starting with that you could get pretty close to approximating it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866812 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:54:09 +0000 loveisstrange 1866812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has a lovely, spicy light white sauce! <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cajun-seafood-pasta/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cajun-seafood-pasta/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866801 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:42:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 1866801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was cheesy, it might have been a thinner Alfredo (homemade is usually a little thinner than in a restaurant/store-bought) with red pepper flakes?</p> <p>If you find out, update us please! I love spicy pasta sauces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866722 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:30:04 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1866722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was it cacio e pepe (like this <a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/cacio-e-pepe)?" rel="nofollow">http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/cacio-e-pepe)?</a> Sometimes I put red pepper flakes in that and it's a light spicy white sauce. Even without the red proper flakes, with enough fresh ground pepper, it's pleasantly spicy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866719 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:29:08 +0000 Maysprout 1866719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To make cream sauces I just start with about 2 tb flour and 2 tb butter (it doesn't matter exactly just have it 1:1) and brown it for a minute. Then I heat about a cup or cup and a half of milk up in the microwave before adding it to the pot and stir it till it thickens (it has to just slightly simmer). After it thickens I just add milk until it's the desired consistency and start throwing in spices. A bit of cayenne pepper would make it spicy and we do that sometimes if LO isn't going to eat it. I usually add basil and thyme and always just a dash of nutmeg, donno why but it makes the cream sauces seem so much warmer to me. Also melting the cheese right in is tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866711 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:25:45 +0000 jetsa 1866711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you find a recipe let me know it sounds so good. My DH makes an Alfredo but it has no heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866703 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:22:49 +0000 looch 1866703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds interesting and delicious, but I have no guesses as to what it might be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866699 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:20:53 +0000 Boheme 1866699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: It was meatless, but it was thin!<br /> @blackbird: I'm going to ask who their caterer was. It was GOOD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866657 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:58:14 +0000 blackbird 1866657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any idea who catered it? They might be willing to tell you what it was :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866655 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:57:14 +0000 .twist. 1866655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>was it like a carbonara, possibly? Sometimes they put spicy sausage in it and it kinda is a thin white sauce? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866654 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:56:45 +0000 Torchwood 1866654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/2009/06/creamy-cajun-chicken-pasta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.plainchicken.com/2009/06/creamy-cajun-chicken-pasta.html</a> I do a version of this with more parmesan, and a bit of flour or cornstarch to thicken. I use Tony's seasoning for the cajun/spice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spicy-white-pasta-sauce#post-1866638 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:51:46 +0000 Boheme 1866638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a friend's wedding, we had a pasta dish with an amazing creamy white sauce that was medium spicy. I cannot figure out what was in it, and the bride and groom have no idea either :) It wasn't quite Alfredo....It seemed less thick.<br /> Anybody have a recipe for a spicy white pasta sauce? DH and I loved it! </p>
