Made this sauce one day when there was no other pasta sauce in the house! Sort of a chuck together combo thing! hehe Very yummy with pasta, especially as carbonara!

Show more commentsI agree with the previous comment by SpookyHelen. The recipe is unworkable with the indicated quantity of flour in it. I would suggest reducing the flour content to a range between 40g and 60g depending on how thick you wish the sauce to become.
Not the best recipe at all, tastes just like flour. Wouldn't recommend this at all, maybe try 40grams of flour.
