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 Caruso sauce, unrelated to the Uruguayan one and also served with pasta, is made of tomato, chicken giblets and mushrooms.
