Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a nice and easy recipe. I might try it wink
could i add a type of inexpensive cheese to it to make it creamy? sweatdrop

I agree that sometimes Ragu costs more than a pint of cream or half-and-half.
Here's a pretty cheap cream sauce that I absolutely love. Most kitchens have these items on hand anyway so that cuts the cost down even more! A word to the wise though...this is definitely NOT low fat.

Alfredo Cream Sauce:
6 T. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 t. pepper
1 C. half-and-half
1 C. Parmesan cheese

Melt butter on medium heat. Once melted add garlic and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes, make sure you don't burn it. Add half-and-half, bring to a slow boil. Once you see bubbles, add cheese in batches, stirring constantly. If you don't work in small batches and keep stirring the cheese just ends up as a glob on the bottom of your saucepan. Salt as needed (taste before you add).
