Milkmaid's Recipe Box: White Sauce for Pasta Dishes

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

White Sauce for Pasta Dishes

Pam made this for our Sunday dinner and put it over a noodle/shrimp dish. I liked the flavor of this sauce. (The fresh chives from Pam's garden went so well with the sour cream!)
This recipe makes almost 1 and 1/2 quarts of sauce which is enough to cover almost a pound of Fettuccini (or similar pasta).

2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup ginger ale
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 tablespoon dried chives
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

In a bowl whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, soup, ginger ale, chives, milk, pepper and mustard.
