PARMA ROSA PASTA SAUCE



PARMA ROSA PASTA SAUCE image

Categories     Sauce     Pasta     Brunch     Side     Sauté     Stew     Quick & Easy     Buffet

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 c. olive oil
2 large garlic cloves chopped really fine
1 can diced tomatoes
1 8 oz can tomato sauce or you can use store bought sauce like a marinara
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. parsley
6 basil leaves chopped
a pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • 1) In a large heavy saucepan, heat olive oil, then add the garlic cloves. Toss and cook on medium heat for a few minutes. Do not let garlic brown. 2) Add the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Cover and cook tomatoes about 10 min. 3) Uncover and stir in parmesan cheese and then the cream slowly, then add sugar. 4) Simmer the sauce a bit for the cream to become incorporated. Add water or warm milk, if needed, to bring the sauce to desired consistency. 5) Serve with either Penne, Rigatoni, Bow Ties or your favorite shaped pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful olive oil, and high-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a large skillet. This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together and will also allow the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little heat. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce can add a nice kick to pasta rosa.
  • Serve pasta rosa immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Pasta rosa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pasta rosa a try. You won't be disappointed!
