TOMATO AND CREAM PASTA SAUCE
Who says pasta sauce has to take a long time to make or involve a lot of ingredients? I made this to be a compromise between my husband's love of red sauces and my love of white sauces. I also wanted something that was not as fattening as white sauces tend to be. Don't get me wrong, with the use of real butter and cream there is still plenty of fat. But hey, what can I say? I am just that kinda girl. I think this sauce could be adaptable to have more veggies in it (mushrooms, artichokes) and even some meat if desired. Amount of servings is an estimate. I don't like a lot of sauce, but my husband likes to drown his pasta.
