You all know I have a love for pasta, it's one of my favorite meals. I made the most delicious pasta recipe last night from the Pioneer Woman this is probably the best pasta recipe that I have ever made! When hubby is on shift, and we don't have any leftovers or I don't feel like eating what we have, I usually make something quick but comforting - to me that would be Spanish food (I'm Puerto Rican and Dominican), something in the Crock-Pot or some type of pasta. This recipe was super fast, delicious and the kids loved it! This would be great for a "Meatless Monday" meal and also for a night where you're too tuckered out and just want to make something quick.
Ingredients:
First cut your onion thinly and mince your garlic
Melt equal parts of butter and olive oil and sautee the onions and garlic until the onions are opaque
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 whole Medium Onion- Finely cut
- 4 cloves Garlic - Minced
- 2 cans (15 Ounce Each) Tomato Sauce
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Dash Of Sugar - To Taste
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- Grated Parmesan
- Fresh Basil - Chopped
Melt equal parts of butter and olive oil and sautee the onions and garlic until the onions are opaque
Pour the two cans of tomato sauce in and season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste -- let simmer on low for 25-30 min... it smells heavenly already at this point
While the sauce is cooking get your pasta water ready and remember to season water with PLENTY of salt - I learned this from Giada De Laurentiis she says the water should taste like the sea so that it can flavor the pasta
Once sauce is done cooking take off the heat and stir in the heavy cream
Once the sauce is a beautiful orange color stir in cheese and freshly chopped basil
Add pasta and toss
Serve immediately
And don't forget your glass of vino!

Enjoy!
PS - Have any of you tried freezing crock-pot meals for easy an easy go to dinner? Do you have any recipes that your family has loved? I'm trying to gather a few of these meals so that I can freeze them and cook in the crock-pot when needed. If you know of any good recipes please let me know or leave the link in the comments below.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
This pasta looks delicious! Pioneer Woman never disappoints!!
Yum!! This looks so good! And I totally didn't know that the point of adding salt to your pasta water was for flavor! I've never done it because I was just so confused but I will be trying this next time I make pasta!!
This is one of my favorite kinds of meals! It sound soo good right now with the chilly rainy weather we're having right now.
Yum! I love pasta, but have never been brave enough to try making my own sauce.
Yum!! The Pioneer Woman can do no wrong and this recipe seems so fast and delicious! Thanks for sharing sweets!
That looks delicious! And of course the wine is a MUST!
