Pink pasta! Spaghetti tossed with a creamy tomato sauce that’s absolutely slurp worthy, this Creamy Tomato Pasta is silky and indulgent tasting however the tomato cream sauce doesn’t really have that a lot cream in it!

Ingredients 300g/10 oz spaghetti 2 tbsp / 30g unsalted butter 3 garlic cloves , minced ½ onion , finely chopped 1 cup / 250 ml tomato passata / tomato puree (Note 1) 3/4 cup / 185 ml heavy / thickened cream (Note 2 for subs) 1/2 cup / 125 ml milk , low fat 3/4 cup / 30g parmesan , finely freshly grated (Note 3) 1 tsp dried basil, or different herb of choice 1 tsp fowl or vegetable inventory powder , or 1 bouillon cube, crumbled (Note 4) Finely flooring pepper + salt Instructions Cook pasta in a giant pot of boiling water for time per packet MINUS 2 minutes. Just earlier than draining, scoop out a mugful of pasta cooking water. Melt butter in enormous skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook dinner till translucent - about 2 minutes. Add ultimate ingredients. Stir till parmesan is melted. Turn warmth up moderately and simmer for 2 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Add pasta. Toss for 1 to 2 minutes or till sauce thickens and is clinging to pasta rather of swimming at the bottom of the skillet (video exhibits this well). Use reserved pasta cooking water if required to thin the sauce out if it will get too thick. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan and parsley if desired.  Recipe Notes: 1. Tomato Passata, recognized as Tomato Puree in America, is pureed strained tomatoes it is purchased in tall bottles. It's 100 percent tomato, no additives or flavourings. It's smoother than overwhelmed tomatoes and makes beautiful thick tomato primarily founded sauces. In Australia, you'll discover it within the pasta part in supermarkets and it expenses round the similar as canned tomato. Passata isn't the similar as tomato paste which is a concentrate. American canned Tomato Sauce (Hunts etc) is a proper substitute, or your favorite tomato pasta sauce (use 1 cup). Canned overwhelmed or finely diced tomato is also used but you'll need 1 x 400g/14oz can, upload it first and cook dinner down for 5 minutes earlier than including milk, cream etc. 2. The sauce thickness principally comes from the passata so this recipe may really be made with simply milk, no cream, for a more fit alternative although you'll miss the richness that cream brings to the sauce. You may also use evaporated milk, once more for a more fit alternative. If you desire so as to feature richness to the sauce, upload additional butter! 3. Don't attempt this with shop purchased grated parmesan as most do now not melt well within the sauce. 4. Stock powder brings additional flavour to the sauce than simply utilizing salt. If you do now not have it, I would upload an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup parmesan. 5. ADD-IN SUGGESTIONS: Shrimp/prawns, BACON, pancetta, chicken, turkey, diced or sliced capsicum / bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, grated zucchini. For prawns/shrimp and entire fowl items (breast, thigh), cook dinner it first then take it out, cut fowl then toss once more in later with pasta. For chopped chicken, bacon, pancetta and vegetables, upload them whilst the onion is partway cooked, then continue with recipe. Stir via soft vegetables like child spinach into the sauce with the pasta. Don't move overboard with the add-ins or you would possibly now not have sufficient sauce!  6. Nutrition per serving, assuming four servings.

Serve it as is, or use it as a base to your personal add-ins. Try tossing via a few shredded leftover Roast Chicken or Poached Chicken, or including a handful of spinach.
