Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 200 ml vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 50 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of the cold low-fat milk in a small bowl, stirring until dissolved to create a slurry.
Once the onion is ready, add the vegetable broth and white wine to the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, ensuring there are no lumps.
Gradually add the remaining low-fat milk while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.
Add the low-fat cream cheese, whisking continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, and adjust to taste.
Let the sauce simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired thickness.
Serve the low-fat Sahnesauce over pasta or as a creamy sauce for vegetables or chicken dishes.
