Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well.

Simmer this for 15- 20 minutes on low.

I have done this with half and half, but we prefer the heavy cream.
I wouldn’t try it with plain milk.
Minor’s (bases) makes an awesome, fool-proof base…just add H20 & 1/2 'n 1/2…a tad pricey, but stores well for a week or more…you s/b able to get it thru any lg supplier…
this is an offshoot of alfedo sauce known as a carbonara sauce. if you use this recipie you have to be careful with the eggs. You must continue whisking the mixture after adding the egg yolks to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
A traditional carbonara is even more risky from a food safety standpoint, because the egg is cooked only wih the heat of the pasta, and not over the flame. Great dish that some are pretty squeemish about.

Heavy cream, butter, pine nuts, parmesion cheese, a few garlic cloves and blend.

amount of ingredients is up to you. The pine nuts help thicken the sauce.

if you’re using pine nuts as a thickener they should be pureed. Adding fresh basil would make it into a pesto sauce, which is actually quite good on a pizza.
