Creamy Tomato Pasta

• porții: 4 servings
• timp activ: 5 minutes
• timp total: 25 minutes

Ingrediente

8 ounces uncooked pasta

2 tablespoons butter

2-3 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce

3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste

Freshly grated parmesan cheese (for serving, to taste)

Instrucțiuni

Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.

Meanwhile (once the pasta starts to cook), add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly.

Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir until it's nice and smooth. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes or until it's thickened to your liking (it should be very gently bubbling, so you may need to turn down the heat).

Season the sauce with salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with both). If the sauce is a little too acidic/tangy for your liking, add in a pinch of sugar.

Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce (add a splash of hot pasta water if the sauce gets too thick). Serve immediately with plenty of parmesan cheese over top.
