We’ve been getting HelloFresh every week now for at least half a year. There are many things I love about it. It’s convenient, it’s so easy the kids can cook, and they always seem to be delicious.

One of the things I struggle with is replicating the recipes where they use an unknown sauce or special seasoning blend. After doing some digging all over the internet and testing I feel like I’ve figured these out. Thankfully HelloFresh tends to publish their spice recipes on their Facebook page or Twitter pages occasionally. There is even a HelloFresh Reddit thread where I found some.

HelloFresh Sauce Recipes

First, we will start with the only sauce recipe I’ve managed to find and think is correct. The cream sauce is used in tons of their pasta recipes.

HelloFresh Cream Sauce Base

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 oz (3 Tbsp) unsalted butter
• 3 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1-3/4 cups whole milk, heated
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Directions:

Melt the butter and then add the milk. Heat it up and stir in the flour and seasonings.

Continue to heat up on medium until thickened, be sure to whisk quite a bit while it thickens. Add additional flour if you need to thicken it.

This makes enough for the four servings portion and it is what you use in their Oven Gold chicken Sausage Gnocchi Bake and the Chicken Sausage Rigatoni Napoletano.

Roasted Red Pepper-Cashew Pesto

Ingredients

• 3/4 Cup Roasted Red Peppers (from a jar)
• 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
• Salt, to taste
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted Cashews
• Juice of 1 Lemon
• Red Chili Flakes, to taste
• Parmesan Cheese, to taste

Directions:

Add roasted red peppers, olive oil, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are combined but not totally smooth.

Roughly chop cashews. Add to a food processor and blend. Add more olive oil if it is too thick.

Squeeze in lemon juice and sprinkle in red chili flakes (to taste).

Grate in Parmesan and stir to combine.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for two minutes.

Next up are the spices. I’ve managed to find tons of these so far. As I figure out more I will add them to this list. If you think any of them might be wrong send me a message. If you’ve managed to get your hands on one of the other spice recipes please leave it in the comments below.

When deciding how much a part is you need to decide how much you need. One part could be 1 tsp which means .5 part is 1/2 a tsp. If you want to make a lot at once you may want to do one part as a tbsp instead.

Cream Sauce Spice Blend

• 2 tsp Wheat flour
• 2 tsp Onion and garlic seasoning

• 1 – 2 drops Nutmeg spice extract

• 4 tsp Basil (dried flakes)
• 2 tsp Rosemary (dried flakes)
• 2 tsp Oregano (dried flakes)

I made this with too much cayenne and our pasta was hot as hell. So, don’t measure incorrectly. This makes enough for what is called for in most of their recipes. Here’s a picture of the pasta I made. It’s the bubbly tortelli bake.

   Would you help me with the amount of spicesblends?? I understand tablespoon teaspoon etc but I’m no sure if parts. For example 3 parts. Is that 3 tablespoons????

   • Meagan at

     Depends on how much you want to make. If you only want a little then do it as 1 part = 1 tsp.

   Thank you for these recipes. The one I am looking for in the Hello Fresh Umami Ginger Sauce. I can’t seem to find that one. I’ve learned Umami really isn’t an ingredient, but a term like ‘savory’. But do you have any help for me? Thanks, Carol

   We’re looking for the “cream sauce spice blend” from Hello Fresh, it comes as a 2 tbsp pouch of white powder. Wondered if it was partly cornstarch to thicken the sauce?

   Also we’d like the “gravy spice blend” from their “Chalet Style Chicken Dinner with Shallot Gravy and Creamy Mash” meal.

   Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
