Tomato Cream Sauce

So, I've been wanting to share this recipe with you guys for almost forever. Like, since the end of last summer. Have I ever mentioned that I can sometimes procrastinate a little a lot?

It started off innocently enough. You see, I really wanted to share my Homemade Ravioli recipe with you first. This Tomato Cream Sauce goes great on ravioli. Then I wanted to make sure that I shared my recipe for Prawn Stock. And then, well, there were those Pork Carnitas and that Chocolate Pie and the Beer Ice Cream. Ya, I got a bit distracted.

But here it is. One of my favourite pasta sauces ever. I know that's a big claim but really it is so insanely tasty.

I've used this as pizza sauce too and it was a bit ridiculously delicious.

It also freezes very well so if you make a big batch you can store some in the freezer for those nights when you can't bear to think about cooking. You do have those too, right?

And if you love creamy sauces, make sure to also try our romesco sauce!

I just had the best thought ever and I feel it's only right that I share it with you. So I'm going camping tomorrow (ya!) AND I have some of this tomato cream sauce in my freezer. Do you see where I'm going with this? Yep, tomorrow night I'm going to be sitting around a bonfire with a big bowl of pasta and this sauce. Would it be wrong to take my pasta maker camping?

  • Add the tomatoes and cream to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes to thicken the sauce, covering the pot halfway with a lid if needed to prevent splatters. Stir in the parmesan cheese and season the sauce with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
