I created this easy white sauce recipe for spaghetti one night to pair with pasta and spicy shrimp. My husband, who lived in Italy, loved this sauce and thought I spent all day making dinner. It's nearly impossible to mess up this kind of sauce! It's similar to Alfredo sauce, but without the cheese.
