Make a large batch of this simple, creamy tomato sauce and have on hand for a variety of pasta and baked sauces, with or without meat.
This a recipe so criminally easy that it can hardly be called a recipe…but it’s delicious so here it is anyway. Creamy tomato sauce, made in no time at all, and with just about…6 ingredients. This is amazingly luscious and dreamy, and can dress up any pasta night! Who needs jarred pasta sauce anyway? Not you, that’s who. Let’s get to work! The pasta sauce of your dreams is just a short ways away!
You probably have most of this stuff in the house anyways, which makes it extra easy. I just made this up with stuff I found in my fridge and pantry, which means it’s a perfect weeknight “I-have-no-food-in-the-house-but-I-don’t-wanna-go-shop” meal. But I digress. All you need is some canned tomato sauce, onion, olive oil, white wine {seriously! I’ll explain in a sec}, heavy cream, and parmesan. And if you have some fresh basil on hand, throw that in too. Such a humble set of ingredients, but don’t doubt their potential to make some magic happen. Make this tomato sauce now!
