Creamy Tomato Basil Fettuccine Recipes

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
• When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, make a quick roux by sprinkling the flour in and cook for about 1 minute, stirring fairly often.
• Add in the garlic, followed by the wine (or broth). Let it bubble until it's reduced by half (approx. 30 seconds to 1 minute).
• Whisk in the cream, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning until you've got a smooth sauce.
• Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Cook the sauce for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit.
• Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and basil.
• Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated (I usually add a tablespoon or so of the pasta water to the sauce prior to draining it, especially if it's become a tad too thick). Serve immediately with more freshly grated parmesan if desired.

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
• Add the butter, onion and red pepper flakes (if using) to a large skillet over medium-hight heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
• Reduce heat to medium, and pour in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and then simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Mix in the parmesan cheese until melted, then add the cooked pasta. Mix until the sauce coats the pasta. Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for a couple minutes. As it simmers, you may need to add pasta water to thin out the sauce. Start with 1/4 cup of pasta water and add more as needed. Stir in the fresh basil and serve immediately.
• Garnish the pasta with freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
