Caruso Sauce
Life is Richer with CARNATION®
Level: Intermediate

Uruguay’s strong Italian traditions are evident in this dish, specifically created in 1915 by Montevideo restaurateurs to honor famous Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso. Over time, this creamy pasta sauce spread throughout South America and eventually to Europe. Enriched with cheese, ham, and mushrooms, and delicately seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, Caruso sauce is usually served over cappellini or tortellini. It tastes just as delicious served over spaghetti!
