Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced *see notes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 500 ml tomato passata
- 200 ml single cream
- 25 g parmesan, grated
- ½ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
- 500 g spaghetti, cooked according to package instructions
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pan heat the olive oil over medium heat and gently saute the onions and garlic until softened. Add in the Italian seasoning.
- Once the onions are soft and translucent, add in the tomato passata or the chopped tomatoes if you're using them. Season with salt, pepper and bring to a gentle simmer. Continue to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Pour the cream into the tomato sauce and stir well.
- Add the grated cheese to the sauce and stir to melt. Taste again and adjust the seasoning. *A squeeze of lemon is optional, but can really brighten up the sauce.
- Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and Add some extra pepper if required.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and serve with extra cheese.
Notes
Note 1- Adding ½ teaspoon of salt will pull the moisture out of the onions helping them to soften more quickly.
Note 2- Simmer uncovered to help thicken the tomato sauce.
