Penne Pasta in creamy Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- Penne Pasta
- Butter
- Garlic
- Safari Simmer Tomato Stew
- Safari Sunset heat blend optional
- Tomato sauce
- Heavy cream
- Italian seasoning optional
Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile (once the pasta starts to cook), 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 Safari Simmer Tomato stew, 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 (it should be very gently bubbling, so you may need to turn down the heat).
- Optional Step – If the sauce is a little too acidic/tangy for your liking, add in a pinch of sugar.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce (add a splash of hot pasta water if the sauce gets too thick). Serve immediately with plenty of parmesan cheese over top.
Notes
If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a splash of hot pasta water to adjust the consistency.
For extra flavor, you can add grated parmesan cheese to the sauce while it’s cooking.
