Want pasta, but don’t feel like all the muss and fuss of a tomato sauce?
No problem, there are other sauces you can explore that are not only delicious, but really simple to make, and you probably have the ingredients on hand already.
This sauce is no exception. It’s one of the simplest you can find.
I used this as my sauce last night for my Potato, Carrot & Squash Gnocchi & it was a perfect pair!
Sauces don’t need to be sopping wet when used on pastas. You can simply coat your pasta and have a nice moisture level with great, simple flavor…that’s all you need.
Enjoy your pasta’s flavor…
