Creator Notes
Right here is a vaguely Italian inspired recipe – many in the past I attended an Italian cooking demonstration with a carrot puree of some kind topped with a sauce made with with fontina cheese. The combo popped into my head in accordance to this contest and I came up with this. In making the roux, I realized I had some D’Artagnan truffle butter in the freezer so damaged-down that as an change of usual butter. If I had a truffle, I would procure shaved rather of over top as successfully! —healthierkitchen
