Suprema Sauce

Did everyone have a great fourth of July? We went to a couple of parties and enjoyed spending time with some out of town family this weekend. Cliff and I also worked on repainting our kitchen cabinets.  It has been a lot of work and our house has been a complete disaster for a week now.  But, we are almost done and the cabinets look 100% better. All we have left to do is hang the doors and put the hardware back on. We were pretty busy working this weekend so I really wish I had a few more days off to relax. At least it is only a 4 day work week though, right?

I first had this sauce at one of my favorite Italian restaurants, Gianni’s, near our house. As soon as I began to eat my dinner I told Cliff I wanted to recreate it at home. No one in my family is really big on alfredo sauce but they all like this suprema sauce.  I won’t say that suprema sauce is a “light” sauce but it is “lighter” than alfredo sauce. Basically you make an alfredo sauce and a quick marinara sauce and then combine the two.  We like to serve this with penne pasta.  It is not the healthiest meal ever, so I usually serve this as more of a side then a main.  It goes great with chicken cutlets or grilled shrimp. I hope you and your families like this sauce as much as my family.
