Tomato Cream Sauce with Linguine

By Leave a Comment

This Tomato Cream Sauce with Linguine is one of my favorite Pasta Dishes for a quick and easy weeknight meal.  It takes minimal ingredients and comes together in a snap! The beautiful pink sauce is created by combining tomato paste and heavy cream, two ingredients you might already have on hand!

Why You’ll Love This?

If your kids will eat pasta with tomato sauce, pasta with creamy tomato sauce isn’t that far of a leap and it’s a bit more gourmet for the grown-ups. The kids will never notice the diced shallots, which also gives this pasta sauce more flavor. They’ll love the extra parmesan cheese, and for a little extra heat, you can serve the red pepper flakes on the side. It also makes for great leftovers for lunch the next day! 

Looking for something even more gourmet? Try my Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce on rigatoni. That’s another one the kids will love!
