So how do you make blush sauce without the flour? If you prefer a thinner sauce, omit the flour and add the cream all at once, then simmer the sauce to thicken it a bit.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between fresh and dried herbs?<\/h3>\n<p>This recipe calls for a generous amount of thyme and basil, for a very herb-forward flavor. If you don&#8217;t love either of those flavors, feel free to reduce them by half. Fresh herbs will have a brighter flavor, and dried herbs will be more muted.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Parmesan cheese different from Parmigiano-Reggiano?<\/h3>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-name=\"tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">differences between Parmigiano-Reggiano and Parmesan<\/a>. Real Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese will have a distinctive mark with its name directly on the rind. This means it was produced to exacting specifications by Italian law in a particular region of Italy and will have a distinctive flavor and texture. If a cheese is just called &#8220;Parmesan,&#8221; it could be produced anywhere and is made in the style of the famous Italian cheese. It may or may not have similar flavor and texture and be of the same quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tangy tomatoes are tempered with white wine and smooth cream for a

I agree with Kim as the sauce to pasta ration was a bit off so I also made less pasta for this amount of sauce. It was only for my husband and myself so it worked out fine.
