I make a nice Amaretto cream sauce for my girlfriend. Goes great with cheese capelletti.

Ingredients:
4 oz amaretto
1 tbsp butter
8 oz chicken stock
1 cup cream
1/4 tsp vanilla
dash of cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
-simmer the amaretto in a hot pan for about 30 seconds, then add the butter and chicken stock, vanilla, and cinnamon
-let that reduce about halfway, then start slowly adding the cream, while stirring constantly.
-keep the heat at medium, and let the sauce bubble gently, stirring constantly.
-keep that up until it has a nice thick consistency, season with salt and pepper
-make sure to taste it.

toss with hot cheese capelletti

I'm guessing with the amounts.... I cook by taste and inspiration

NOTE: to make basic cream sauce, use white wine instead of amaretto, and omit the vanilla and cinammon
