Ingredients
- Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked pasta (e.g., penne)
2 tbsp butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
- Alternative Ingredients
Gluten-free pasta instead of regular pasta for gluten intolerances.
Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for a dairy-free version though this may alter taste slightly.
Nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan cheese can substitute for Parmesan for a vegan option.
Directions
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta al dente as per the package instructions, typically about 8-10 minutes.
- Concurrently, in a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter then add garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning into the skillet. Mix until smooth and let the sauce gently simmer for about 5 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary, until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of sugar if the sauce is too acidic. Drain the pasta, mix it into the sauce, adjusting consistency with a splash of hot pasta water if needed. Serve topped with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
