What can I use instead of heavy cream in a pasta sauce?

Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to whip up a creamy pasta sauce for dinner, but I just realized I’m out of heavy cream :scream:. I really want to impress my family with a delicious meal tonight, and I don’t want to run to the store. What can I use instead of heavy cream? Any alternatives that won’t compromise the flavor too much? Thank you! :spaghetti::sparkling_heart:

Combine 1 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. It won’t be as thick, but it’ll give you a nice creamy texture.

Mix some Greek yogurt with a little milk to achieve a creamy consistency. Just make sure to add it off the heat so it doesn’t curdle.

If you have coconut milk, it can be a great alternative. It adds a different flavor but is very creamy.

Soften some cream cheese and mix it with a bit of milk. It’s richer and will give that creamy texture you’re looking for.

Blend silken tofu until smooth for a dairy-free option. It’s surprisingly creamy and can take on whatever flavors you add.

If you have cashews, soak them in water and blend them until smooth. This creates a delicious creamy sauce.

A little sour cream can add creaminess along with a bit of tang. Mix it with some milk to get the right consistency.

Use almond milk and add a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken it up. It won’t be as rich, but it’ll still work.
