A quick sauce for a quick weeknight meal, this tomato cream sauce comes together quickly and tastes amazing.

Ingredients
- 1 pound Fettuccine pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar granulated white
- 1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta til al dente.
- Add olive oil to a large skillet, heat to a medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and garlic, and cook until soft.
- Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil then turn heat down to a simmer until the sauce reduces down a little.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream and parmesan.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss for a few minutes. The sauce should cling to the pasta.
- Divide up into bowls, and grate parmesan over the top.
- Devour.
Notes
- When you drain the pasta save a little of the cooking water to thin your sauce out if needed.
- Garnish with fresh basil if you're feeling fancy!
- Substitutions/Additions
- Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes is awesome in this pasta sauce.
- You can use diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes instead of pureed, your sauce will be a little chunkier though.
- You can use any type of cooked pasta! I suggest Ditalini (little round tubes), Penne, Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Cappellini or Cavatappi.
- What to serve with pasta?
- I love garlic knots, an arugula salad or some steamed vegetables.
