This beginner course offers jr chefs an easy rue recipe to create at home, and add what is available in their own kitchens to create a delicious creamy, reduced fat pasta sauce. Traditional ingrediants such as garlic, fresh herbs like tyme, and any cheese in the refrigerator can bring together day old noodles to an elevated bowl of pasta anyone can create. Say NO to packaged powdered cheese/seasonings from this class on!
