Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 14 ounce can tomato sauce
  • ¾ cup heavy/whipping cream
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, 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.
  • Season the sauce with salt & pepper as needed. If the sauce is a little too acidic/tangy, add in a pinch of sugar.
  • Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately with plenty of parmesan cheese over top.

Notes

I don’t recommend subbing the cream with something that has a lower fat content as it’s likely to curdle due to the acid in the tomatoes.
