How to Make Quick Pasta Sauce

If you like a good creamy pasta sauce, this is the easiest and quickest recipe ever!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pasta of your choice
• Fresh vegetables
• Heavy whipping cream
• Salt and Pepper
• Parmesan cheese
• Frying pan
• Stock pot (for noodles)
• Colander
• Water

1. Boil noodles in water with a dash of salt.

2. In frying pan, lightly cook your vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. When vegetables have been cooked well, remove from pan and set aside in a dish.

4. In frying pan (do not rinse out), add about 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper. Let cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring frequently. Cream will become thicker as it cooks.

5. Turn off heat. Let cream sit for a few minutes to cool down. During this time, you can probably remove your pasta and drain in colander.

6. Turn heat back on to medium-low on the frying pan with cream mixture. The cream should have thickened enough to be a sauce. Add grated parmesan cheese.

7. Place vegetables back into sauce. Add pasta (or you can pour the sauce over the noodles if you prefer).

8. Eat and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• If heavy cream is too fatty for you, you can try half & half or whole milk. These will require a longer cooking time, and more cheese to thicken.
• You can also add some garlic to the cream if you like.
• Do NOT burn the cream! You'll have to start over from scratch. Keep stirring it while it is on medium heat.
