Food & Cooking Recipes Healthy Recipes Vegetarian Recipes Creamy Tomato Sauce Prep Time: 5 mins Total Time: 35 mins Yield: 2 cups This easy five-ingredient sauce has just a touch of cream to temper the acidity of the tomatoes; and it has the perfect consistency for spooning over all types of pastas. Try it with homemade potato gnocchi. Directions Pulse tomatoes with their juices in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Melt butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream; simmer, partially covered, 5 minutes more.
