Equipment
Method
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. When it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about one minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes or until it thickens. You may need to reduce the heat so it bubbles gently.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper. If the sauce tastes too acidic, add a pinch of sugar.
- Drain the pasta. Toss it with the sauce. Add a splash of hot pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese on top.
Notes
If you are making this truly one-pot, you can cook the pasta directly in the sauce mixture, adding extra water as needed until the pasta is cooked through.
