Linguine in a Tomato-Cream Sauce

Linguine pasta holds creamy sauces very well. The tomato-cream sauce is luscious, rich, and flavorful. Few ingredients are required, which makes it is a simple dish to make, even for people who don't like to cook!

Linguine in a Tomato-Cream Sauce

1/2 pint heavy cream
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
salt and black pepper
1 pound linguine

Cook linguine until al-dente according to package instructions.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, saute garlic in extra-virgin olive oil until tender. Do not let it saute to the point of burning. Then, add heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and allow to come to a simmer. Then add the tomato paste, and stir. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes while stirring. Pour the sauce over pasta, and add the parsley. Toss, making sure the sauce and parsley are evenly incorporated. Serve immediately.

Serves approximately 5.
