Pesto Cream Sauce

This is fabulous over ravioli, tortellini, and just about any other filled pasta.

Pesto Cream Sauce
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup Basic Pesto Sauce (without cheese added)
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper


Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add pesto sauce and stir until butter and sauce are blended. Slowly add heavy cream, stirring frequently until pesto is mixed in with cream, and steam begins to appear (do NOT boil cream!). Slowly add parmesan cheese until it melts and sauce thickens. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. More cream may be added if sauce gets too thick, or more cheese can be added if you like sauce a bit thicker.
