Over the weekend, I had every intention of completing number 18 on the 40 Before 40 list. Time is running out, people! I have just a little over a month to complete 19 total before November 3rd! (Between you and me, I'm not sure I'm going to complete the list!) So on Saturday, I was going to use Giada De Laurentiis's recipe for homemade pasta, but instead, I went shopping with my mom! The latter was much more fun. Not that making pasta wouldn't have been fun, but who doesn't love shopping with their mom?
Even though I didn't make pasta, I still went with Ree's recipe for pasta with tomato cream sauce. See, I was going to make my own fettucini to use in the recipe, it calls for fettucini, but again I went shopping. My mom and I stopped by my house to gather the ingredients I had purchased before hand, stopped by the store for salad ingredients, and other odds and ends, and got home around 6:30. We scurred around to get dinner started, unloaded groceries while cooking, took photos while making the meal, and got dinner on the table by 7:05! Nothing like a 30 minute meal!
Below are the deets and photos!
Cook your chopped onion and garlic in olive and butter! Believe me when I tell you it smelled amazing! Add tomato sauce once your onions are soft.
Once that's been warmed through, add heavy cream. Decedent and simply an amazing concoction of ingredients!
How pretty is that? Such a warm, soft color. And, it looks even better with Parmesan cheese!
Add your cooked pasta.
And serve! We did make salads, we needed something healthy beside the plate, and a little garlic toast to sop up the sauce!
I can't tell you how amazing this dish was! Everyone agreed that this is a keeper. We also decided that shrimp and chicken would compliment the pasta as well. Check out Ree's website for the recipe. Trust me, you are going to want to make it this week!!
