I am in love with “pink” sauce; it is such a great way to make a creamy tomato sauce for your pasta. This makes enough sauce to cover a pound of noodles, you can use any shape noodle you choose (I would recommend Ziti or bowtie).
Ingredients-
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
4-5 cloves of garlic (depending on how garlicky you like it!)
2 (14.5 oz) can of Italian style diced tomatoes
2 Tablespoon of Italian seasoning
1 Teaspoon of Oregano
1 Teaspoon of Oregano
1 Teaspoon of salt
Pinch of white sugar
1 Cup of heavy cream
2 Tablespoon of butter
Directions-
- In a deep sauce pan sauté garlic in olive oil over medium heat
- In a blender combine tomatoes, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt and sugar. Blend for just a few pulses, until the sauce is the texture that you like (I like mine without any chunks of tomato)
- Add the tomato mixture into the oil and garlic and simmer for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat
- Whisk in the heavy cream and butter
- Heat for about 10 minutes or until the milk is warm, do not allow it to boil
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve over noodles and top with Parmesan cheese
(We are out of Parmesan, what a bummer!)
My name is Sarah, I have been very happily married for 8 years now. I am the mother of 2 adorable boys; Tater (Caden) who is 8 and Moose (Conlan) who is 6. We are living in beautiful Colorado, homeschooling our kids and loving every minute of it!
And now I'm hungry.
I made something similar last month with cream cheese, but I, being the culinary expert that I am, thought it would be a good idea to add flour to thicken it up–bad idea. It came out all sandy tasty. But the flavor was great! I'll try your recipe. It looks so good yummy to me right now! Thanks for sharing! Janae
Mmmm, that looks good!
Yum! Pasta is my comfort food.
I love pink sauce. Thanks for finding me! I love your blog. Following you back!
I have heard of pink sauce, now we'll have to try it. And that is a bummer you were out of parmesan cheese!
I walked in the house and immediately smelled this wonderful sauce my daughter made for her and her Dad. Amazing recipe!
