PALOMINO SAUCE (SERVED OVER PASTA)

My Italian mom gave me this recipe years ago. It is a great mix of a white sauce and a red sauce with a nice little kick. We usually request it for our "Sunday dinners". Definitely a nice change. We all love it and usually make breaded chicken, good garlic bread and a tossed salad to finish off the meal. Yum!! :)

PASTA PALOMINO RECIPE - (5/5)

Pasta Palomino Recipe - (5/5) image

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

Penne Pasta {cooked at directed on package}
Spaghetti/Marinara sauce {I use my homemade recipe here}
a splash of milk or cream

Steps:

Obviously this isn't an *actual* recipe. You just eyeball it. You can't go wrong. All you do is heat your marinara sauce - either homemade or jarred will work just fine but I have a loving relationship with my homemade. :) Once the sauce is hot, add in some milk or cream to make it creamy. I usually cook enough pasta and sauce for four people and I add in between a 1/2 to 1 cup of half and half. You can also toss in some parmesan cheese if you have some. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Serve immediately with a slice of garlic bread. Mmmm.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make pasta, so feel free to try different ingredients and techniques.
Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
Don't overcook the sauce. This will make it thick and gloppy.
Serve the pasta immediately. This will ensure that it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Pasta Palomino is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it can also be made with fresh ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, Pasta Palomino is a great choice.
