TOMATO AND CREAM PASTA SAUCE



Tomato and Cream Pasta Sauce image

Who says pasta sauce has to take a long time to make or involve a lot of ingredients? I made this to be a compromise between my husband's love of red sauces and my love of white sauces. I also wanted something that was not as fattening as white sauces tend to be. Don't get me wrong, with the use of real butter and cream there is still plenty of fat. But hey, what can I say? I am just that kinda girl. I think this sauce could be adaptable to have more veggies in it (mushrooms, artichokes) and even some meat if desired. Amount of servings is an estimate. I don't like a lot of sauce, but my husband likes to drown his pasta.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
3/4 pound fusilli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
3 scallions, thinly sliced (dark green portion kept separate)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock

1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley
1/4 cup fresh basil chiffonade (see Cooks' Note)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt and return to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor. If you don't have ripe tomatoes, you can roast them in the oven for a few minutes to concentrate their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes to the pan, they won't cook evenly and the sauce will be watery. Cook the tomatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh basil, oregano, or thyme will brighten up the flavor of the sauce. Stir them in just before serving.
  • Use the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the sauce for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Tomato cream sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of pasta dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
