Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta (All Recipes)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Make sure it doesn't burn. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and continue to boil 5 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream and butter. Reduce heat and simmer 5 more minutes.
Tip: This dish probably would taste really good with some meatballs, italian sausage or even proscuitto for those of you who are meat lovers!

Mmmm. I was already planning on spaghetti yesterday, so I used your recipe. Substituted fat free half & half for the cream and added a second can of diced tomatoes, but it was delish! Thanks Tanya!!
