Ingredients
Pasta and Sauce
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly.
- Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
- Season the sauce with salt & pepper as needed. If the sauce is too acidic, add a pinch of sugar.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce, adding a splash of hot pasta water if the sauce gets too thick. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese.
Notes
I don't recommend subbing the cream with something that has a lower fat content as it's likely to curdle due to the acid in the tomatoes. This recipe can also be found in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
