AMARETTO ALMOND CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
• As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
• After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
• Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
• The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
• NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.
