If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and flavorful pasta dish, then you need to try this Creamy Tomato Pasta recipe. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients, but it has all the flavor of a restaurant-quality meal.

This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal because it can be made in under 30 minutes. And the best part is that it’s so easy to customize. You can add your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses to make it your own.

I like to add grilled chicken or shrimp to this dish, but you could also add meatballs, sausage, or even tofu. For vegetables, I like to add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers. And of course, no creamy tomato pasta is complete without a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

This recipe is also perfect for a crowd. It can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a large group of people. So next time you’re having a party or potluck, be sure to make this Creamy Tomato Pasta. It’s sure to be a hit!

Here are some additional tips for making this recipe:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. I like to use fresh tomatoes, but you can also use canned tomatoes. If you’re using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them and crush them by hand before adding them to the sauce.
  • Don’t overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or cooked to the tooth.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
