Penne à la Safari
Penne a la Safari made with Safari Simmer is a rich and creamy pasta dish where the bold flavors of Safari Simmer Tomato Stew replace the vodka, creating a savory, tangy tomato sauce with a hint of spice. The dish is perfectly balanced with a smooth, velvety texture, and served over penne pasta for a satisfying, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Penne Pasta uncooked
- 1/4 stick Butter unsalted
- 1 jar Safari Simmer Tomato Stew
- 1 tsp Safari Sunset heat blend optional
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
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 until it melts.
- Optional step – Add ground beef, turkey, or chicken after the butter is melted and cook until browned for extra meaty goodness!
- Add in the Safari Simmer Tomato stew, cream. 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.
