Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce

Currently Enzo's favorite, this pasta dish is very simple and easy to make. Even a kid could make this. Afterall, Enzo did! =)

The ingredients are very common and can be found in any pantry or grocery (if you don't have them yet).


Cook pasta of your choice according to package directions. The sauce is kinda thick so you might want to use pasta of "sturdier" make such as spaghetti, penne, farfalle rigatoni and the like. I used rotini (swirl) this time since the kids find the shape fun and interesting.

For the sauce, roughly chop 1 onion and saute in olive oil until it turns translucent. Add 2 cups of tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add a teaspoon of dried basil and least 5 cloves of finely chopped garlic and let simmer until sauce reduces and slightly thickens. Add half a cup of grated cheddar cheese and stir thoroughly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until cheese melts. You may use other relatively soft cheeses and even Parmesan cheese as well. Once cheese melts, gently pour in a cup of all-purpose cream. Stir continuously and allow the sauce to simmer but never let it boil. Combine with cooked pasta. Serve hot and with some warm, thick bread on the side. The bread is best for mopping the sauce from your plate. =)


Buon Appetito!
