Pasta Sauces

Pasta Sauces:

Your basic Cheese Sauce:
1oz GF Flout
1oz Margarine
1/2 pint of Milk
Cheese of choice

Put the flour, margarine and milk in a milk saucepan, and put on gentle heat, stir in a figure of eight motion until you see it thicken.  Do not stop stirring, as this will give you a lumpy sauce.

With this method I very rarely get a lumpy sauce.  Just make sure that it doesn't thicken or start to go lumpy by heating too fast, if this happens add a splash of milk straight from the fridge!!

When the sauce has thickened, grate your cheese and add to the sauce stir until its melted in.  Pour over the Pasta and enjoy.

If you like interesting flavours try: Blue Cheese or add 1tsp of any of the following:
Marmite
Mustard
Chilli Powder
Worcester Sauce or Hendersons Relish


BBQ sauce

1 onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
Equal amounts of Honey, Vinegar, Ketchup and to bulk it out a tin of tomatoes if you need it to go further.

Fry the onion and garlic until soft, add the honey, vinegar and ketchup and heat until the sauce has reduced by 1/2 add to Pasta.

This makes a good chutney if you reduce the liquid further so that it goes sticky.  It goes really well with cheese and I would imagine it would go well with a Burger as a relish.
