Three-Ingredient Creamy Tomato Pasta

This quick and easy creamy tomato pasta is sure to elevate your spaghetti night! You’ll love it because it only takes 3 ingredients, so it’s just as easy as spaghetti but tastes way better. Make it for your next Italian night, and enjoy the change of pace!  

 

This creamy tomato pasta is so delicious and is so simple to throw together. Because it only takes one ingredient above opening a can of pasta sauce and boiling some noodles, anyone can pull it off, but be warned, it will forever change the way you eat pasta! Even better, I’ve never met a kid that won’t eat pasta! Maybe you have to leave the sauce off and add butter to the noodles instead, but at least you only had to make essentially one dinner. 

 

This recipe is also great because of how versatile it is. You can add the secret third ingredient (cream) to any pasta dish and it will instantly elevate the dish. So if you’re making spaghetti and meatballs, add the cream. If you want to use a penne but also some italian sausage, go for it! The world is your oyster (or all you can think of pasta buffet). 

 

Consider making this for your next date night or for Valentine’s day. It’s so simple so there’s no stress in the meal prep, but it’s so delicious and elevated that you’ll think you’re eating something way fancier! Plus, what’s more romantic than pasta? I mean, have you seen Lady and the Tramp?

 

I also love this recipe because it’s free of seed oil, which I try to avoid whenever I can. The cream is naturally seed oil free, and it’s very likely the pasta and pasta sauce you choose will be too, but it never hurts to check the ingredients list to be on the safe side. 

 

Ingredients

 

This recipe uses three basic ingredients: pasta, pasta sauce, and heavy cream. You can substitute the heavy cream for half and half, but it won’t taste quite as rich and creamy. As for the pasta and pasta sauce, feel free to make your own, or pick up your favorite brand from the store! Any type of pasta will work.

 

Instructions

 

This recipe is super easy to throw together. Just boil the pasta according to the package instructions, but remember, most professional chefs will tell you to salt your pasta water until it tastes like the ocean.

 

 

While the pasta is boiling, heat up your pasta sauce. 

 

 

Once your pasta sauce is hot, remove it from the heat and mix in your heavy cream. 

 

 

Top with some parmesan, serve with a side of garlic bread and enjoy the spice you just brought back into pasta night!
