This extremely versatile sauce is comparable to a white sauce. It has endless possibilities as a cream base for soups, noodles, pot pie, scalloped potatoes and creamed vegetables. Adjust seasonings to taste and type of entrée. For a lower-fat version, see the Note under the recipe.
See the Note below for a simple alfredo sauce. It can also be the base for several gravies. Your imagination is the limit, so enjoy!

We love to use this sauce for a quick and simple lunch with fresh asparagus over noodles, toast, or English muffins. I call it one of my 10-minute meals! Serve with a salad and you are good to go. I usually add a little more chicken seasoning or the alfredo option (listed in the Note below) without the basil. Also great as creamed peas over toast.
1 cup hot water
1 cup raw cashews–for a lower fat version, see Notes
