Here is how you make Easy, Creamy, Pasta Sauce:

Alright! This is a super easy, delicious recipe, you'd swear you were eating in an Italian restaurant.First, cut tomatoes in half, removing stem carefully, then chop roughly (nothing in this recipe has to be perfect). Add to a frying pan on medium heat, juice, seeds and all. Let this simmer as you prepare the rest of the ingredients.Second, mince garlic, and immediately add to pan with tomatoes, stir.Chop red pepper, onion (I used green onion, 1 or 2, chopped in rings, but you could also use white or other onions), mushrooms, and/or any other ingredients you like in your pasta sauce, ie: green pepper, olives etc.Stir and add basil, salt and pepper. Stir again. Cook on medium heat for about another 10 minutes or until all ingredients are softened to desired texture. Reduce heat, and stir in cream cheese until completely melted and blended into the tomato sauce. Cook for another few minutes to let the cream cheese soak up the flavors of the sauce. Mmm..I love making this sauce with cheese tortellini, but you can use any pasta you like. Cook pasta as directed, drain and add to saucepan. Stir until coated in sauce. Grate cheeses (also, can be omitted or substituted with your fave cheese(s). Allow cheese to melt, do not stir, serve immediately.Makes enough sauce for about 2 cups of cooked pasta. Depends on how saucy you like your pasta :) Enjoy!!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MELE4523.
