Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup white wine (optional) 60ml
- 1 ½ cups tomato passata (400g) (or puree a can of san maranzo tomatoes - do not use tomato paste)
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ cup heavy cream 120ml
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup pasta cooking water* 120ml
- 8 ounces pasta (225g)
Instructions
- Heat the oil and butter in a large pot over a medium-low heat, then add the onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden, but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
- Add the white wine (if using) and let it bubble and reduce for a few minutes.
- Stir in the passata, as well as the bay leaf, and basil, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Note: when draining, reserve some cooking water to ‘loosen’ the rosatella sauce.
- Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and discard.Stir in the cream, parmesan, and salt and pepper, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, and ½ cup (or more if necessary) of the pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- If possible, use pasta that is textured on the outside and hollow in the center like pipette, gemelli, or rigatoni. This will help the pink sauce to adhere to the pasta better.
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can omit it from the recipe. The sauce will still be delicious!
- If you want a thinner pink sauce, add more of the pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
- This pink sauce can also be used as a pizza sauce! Just spread it on your favorite pizza dough and bake according to the recipe or package instructions.
- If you can't find tomato passata, use a can of san marzano tomatoes and puree them until fully blended. Do not use tomato paste as it will make the sauce too thick.
