Pasta With Peas, Chives, and Cream Sauce

I think I would just open a can of Alfred sauce!

I made this with only whole milk and added 1.5 tbsp of flour to thicken. It was delicious and my 16 month old ate it up so what more could I ask for? I think I will use less salt, however. Once the cheese is in, the addition of salt was almost too much. Also, I am going to try it tonight with skim milk and flour to thicken to see if I can cut some calories!

Great easy recipe!! The sauce seemed a little plain so I sweated 2 tbl of shallots & about a tbl or so of minced garlic in about 2 tbl of butter. Once they softened, to help thicken the sauce, I added a heaping tbl of flour & cooked that for a few minutes. Then added the rest of the ingredients. Gave the sauce a little more depth of flavor.

Great recipe! And I love frozen peas, so easy and good for you. One thing though - I've heard it's best to always cook peas as it says on the back of package to make sure there are safe as possible. Don't want anyone getting sick out there!

Love it! Easy, tasty, great for food combiners who can't eat meat or seafood with carbohydrates and dairy.
