No-Fuss Creamy Pink Pasta
A ridiculously easy seriously delicious family approved dinner
Ingredients
- 500 gram dry pasta
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 800 grams tomato sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup cooking cream
- 25 grams finely grated parmesan cheese 1 cup
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium, to large-sized pot heat the olive oil on medium heat, add the onions, and saute for about 5 min. until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sautee until fragrant, about 1 min. If you like this spicy feel free to add about 1 tsp chili flakes in with the the minced garlic.
- Add the tomato sauce, salt, and pepper bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened about 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, generously salt a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Drop your pasta in and cook one minute less than al dente while you prepare the sauce. Preserve some of the pasta water.
- After the tomato sauce has thickened add between ¼- ½ cup of your pasta water to thin out the sauce a bit. Optional : our kids don't like the pieces of onion in the pasta sauce so at this point we use an immersion blender to make the sauce smooth.
- Add in your cooked pasta and allow it to warm through about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add in your cream and parmesan cheese. Give it one last stir and serve. Enjoy!
