Whip up a delicious creamy tomato pasta dish that’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Pasta: Penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti work well.

• Base: Olive oil, onions, garlic.

• Tomato: 500 ml tomato paste or passata (puréed tomatoes).

3. Add Cream & Simmer: Stir in heavy cream, letting it warm through and slightly thicken.

4. Combine: Add the cooked pasta and some reserved pasta water to the sauce, tossing until coated.

5. Finish: Stir in fresh herbs and cheese, season to taste, and serve with more toppings.
