Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- Boil a pot of water and cook the pasta according to the instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, preheat a large skillet over low/medium heat. Add 15 oz crushed tomatoes, seasoning (½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp dried oregano, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes) and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Then add ½ cup heavy cream and ½ cup milk. Stir in simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and stir in until melted.
- Add cooked pasta and fold it in until evenly coated with sauce.
Notes
- When you drain the pasta, always reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid. It will help you to thin out the sauce if it come out too thick.
- Don't overcook the pasta! When it's mixed with the sauce, it will absorb a more liquid from it and can become too mushy.
- You can store it in an air-tight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
