I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Easy Creamy Sauce for Pasta

Béchamel type pasta sauce that's easy to prepare on a busy weeknight. 

Ingredients:

2 tbsps butter, divided

1/2 cup finely diced onion 

1 1/2 tbsps flour

1 cup milk

3 tbsps shredded cheddar

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup 10% cream

1 egg yolk 

parmesan to serve 

In a saucepan heat 1/2 tbsp butter on medium heat and sauté onion until tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove to a plate and add 1 1/2 tbsps butter to the same skillet to melt. Whisk in the flour then the milk and simmer on medium low to medium until lightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Beat the egg yolk with the cream and pour into the saucepan mixing along with the salt and pepper, 1 minute. Return the sautéed onion and toss with hot cooked pasta to serve. Serve with lots of parmesan. Makes 3-4 servings
