A Classic Stand-by and a Fail

Last week I came across Bittman's nut cream sauce with arugula and loved the thought of a creamy, nutty sauce over noodles.  And what better to go with it than zucchini parmesan, which I was totally in the mood for. 

Well, my sauce came out looking like this:

It broke somewhere along the way, not sure what the specific cause was though.  I may have kept it on the heat for too long, or added the cream a bit too quickly.  I was super disappointed, there is little more disheartening in the kitchen than a recipe gone wrong. 

Luckily, I still had the zucchini parm, noodles, and spaghetti sauce in the cupboard.  Thank goodness, meal salvaged.
