Substitution for heavy cream?...

[Eat Dalink, Eat]

Hi all,

I am making a pasta dish that calls for a touch of heavy cream and I have leftover half and half in the fridge from another recipe. Do you think I can use the half and half instead? The sauce has lemon in it if that will make a difference (possible curdling). If not, suggestions for leftover half and half?
Thanks, Lisa

I think if the amt of cream needed is minimal, half and half would work just fine. It's probably there for texture.

Leftover half and half? I love CL's strawberry-basil salad (calls for kiwi, white balsamic vinegar, & sugar too.) Or pour a little over lightly sweetened oatmeal with berries. It's great on fresh peeled and sliced peaches or apple crisp. Now you have me drooling...
