CREAMY TOMATO PASTA SAUCE
I adapted this recipe from one I found in a cookbook a few years ago; it's now become my signature pasta sauce. I love it because it mixes my two favorite sauces -- red tomato sauce and cheese! It takes a little more effort than just opening up a jar of Ragu, but the end product is SO worth it, I think. Good for special occasions when you want to WOW your guest(s).

Steps:
- Saute the garlic in the oil for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken (optional) and cook.
- Next add the mushrooms (or other veggies) and saute until tender.
- Add the tomatoes or pesto sauce, wine, spaghetti sauce, vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer 7-10 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese, and stir until it's melted throughout.
- Add the shrimp (optional).
- Cook your pasta of choice (I like penne).
- Top the pasta with this sauce, add some parmesan and whatever else you like (pine nuts, parsley, etc.) and serve. Yum!
