Salsa caruso
Caruso sauce or salsa Caruso is a warm sauce in Uruguayan cuisine made of cream, ham, cheese, beef extract, and mushrooms, and sometimes nuts or onions. A simpler version is a Béchamel sauce with spices, walnuts, and ham. It is served with pasta, typically cappelletti. A different and unrelated Caruso sauce, also served with pasta, is a tomato sauce with chicken giblets and mushrooms. Caruso sauce was created in the 1950s in Uruguay by Raymundo Monti of the restaurant Mario and Alberto in Montevideo. Monti wanted to create a new recipe in the style of Italian cuisine. The dish was named in honor of the Neapolitan tenor Enrico Caruso who was popular in South America during his tours of the 1910s.
