I’ve made variations of this comforting pasta dish for years. On this occasion, I used creme fraiche, but in the past I’ve made this recipe with natural yogurt, sour cream or single cream - although you’d need a smaller quantity for the latter. Often I run a fragrant herb through it just before serving. Coriander, chives, chervil, Greek basil, parsley and not forgetting regular basil all work beautifully. All in all a great crowd pleaser for hungry mouths....and did I mention it’s easy on your wallet?
