Creamy Tomato Pasta

Creamy Tomato Pasta is the dish you’ll want any day of the year! Made with penne pasta, readily available canned tomatoes, a generous cup of cream, herbaceous basil, sharp parmesan and just a few other simple staples.

Creamy tomato pasta garnished with parmesan. Shown served in a large white bowl over a green cloth on a marble surface. A baguette and whole tomatoes are shown to the side.

You may know this as “pink sauce pasta”. No matter, this pink hued creamy tomato pasta is a classic, timeless recipe for good reason.

It’s a hearty, meatless, Italian inspired entree that ensures a lunch or dinner people of all ages can agree on. It’s so easy to prepare and comes together quickly.

You’ll also find it’s adaptable to include other various fillers like vegetables (most notably spinach), or a protein such as cooked Italian sausage or ground beef.

We’ve loved it as is though, humbly simple yet bursting with warm inviting flavors, and of course that creamy richness we can’t get enough of! Cream and tomatoes were a match meant to be.
