Perfect Tomato Cream Sauce with Pasta
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 33.5 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons Organic Valley® Cream Cheese OR Tofutti® Better Than Cream Cheese (Vegan)
- 1 pound cooked pasta (fettucine, penne, rigatoni, whatever you like!)
Step 1
Heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add tomato sauce and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Stir in salt, pepper, and basil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Whisk in cream cheese well and heat for a couple more minutes, until heated through and the sauce becomes a nice orange color.
Step 6
Add cooked pasta to sauce and toss gently to coat.
You can also add sautéed shrimp or seasoned halal chicken to this dish. Sautéed mushrooms tossed in is a great way to keep it vegetarian-friendly while making it a more substantial meal.
