This tomato pasta recipe is made with a delicate cream sauce that’s a hit with the entire family. While this dish certainly tastes elevated, it comes together in minutes, making it the perfect quick dinner. Serve it with chicken or shrimp for extra protein—either pairs well with the creamy pasta sauce.

Creamy Pasta Sauce
If you’ve never made a homemade sauce before, you are going to be blown away at how much better this one is than canned pasta sauces. Trust me, try this once and you will never, ever go back to the jarred pasta section at the grocery store!
When you think of a creamy pasta sauce, you may automatically assume we are talking about alfredo sauce. This time, however, it pays not to make assumptions! While I certainly enjoy alfredo, I love this sauce so much more. It’s similar to a vodka sauce, except there is no vodka.
This creamy pasta sauce is also incredibly easy to make. The sauce has just a few basic ingredients: onions, tomatoes, cream, and a few dashes of salt and pepper. This entire meal comes together in under 30 minutes—it’s one of my go-to recipes when I need a quick dinner that I know my kids will gobble up!
