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.
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.
