Easy Creamy Tomato Pasta! I’m not a straight marinara sauce lover, but I have found if I put a little cream into the sauce, I’m as happy as a clam!
The other night, we were making dinner and this is what we came up with, Easy Creamy Tomato Pasta! We used the tomatoes that we had bottled last Fall and we had the rest of the ingredients in the pantry. A win, win!
This would go so great with a fresh leafy salad and breadsticks. The meal would be complete! Honestly, we had a big bowl of pasta and loved it! It only takes minutes to make and not much cleanup.
