Actually, no, that will make a really watery sauce. I wouldn’t go any less than half-and-half with this recipe, although if you’re really set on lightening it up you could maybe play around with a mix of plain yogurt and milk until you get a creamy consistency.

Do you think it would be okay to use 1% milk instead of heavy cream?

It was nice to meet you on Saturday, Katie. I enjoyed your post; I’ve often felt the same thing but been hesitant to consider myself an introvert when I have so many contradicting traits.

This is my kind of pasta dish. Simple, flavorful, fresh. I’m glad to have found your blog!

Your pasta looks delicious and lovely. I am with you on needing the down/alone time – definitely an introvert here.

Haha I like the word “mid-vert,” I’m going to start using that one. And I’m totally with you on the wide open spaces… something about them makes me feel like I’m fitting in to place.

That sounds like a great book, I’ll have to check it out. It’s interesting that you and your husband are opposites! My boyfriend is probably around the same place as me, on the spectrum, and I do wonder how that affects the way we act when we’re out together. Thanks for stopping by!

I don’t think I’ve ever stopped by your blog before. But this recipe looks fantastic. I’m compelled to comment about the introvert/extrovert discussion. I’m toward the extrovert end of the spectrum and my husband is decidedly toward the introvert end of things. He read a book called “The Introvert Advantage”–not sure of the author–but it had some great things to say about introverts. Might be worth a read!

Ah…a great blend of heart, perspective, and a good recipe. That’s why you are the best, Katie. Love these high-key photographs, also. As always, excellent job!

I am very much like you….I enjoy the company of others, but truly enjoy my downtime. I am not sure if I would call myself an introvert, but an extrovert I am not. Maybe just a mid-vert. A boring weekend to most is refreshing to me. I like to busy myself, by myself. I would have to say that my happy place is either in a grove of trees or somewhere wide and open. I find I get the same comfort from a wide open praire or the ocean…wide open spaces please my soul. Glad I am not the only one :)
