Creamy tomato sauce

Sonja Overhiser’s tomato cream sauce combines tomatoes with heavy cream. A Couple Cooks describes its flavor as rich and tangy and credits the recipe as Italian Inspired.

Minced garlic and fennel seeds are cooked in olive oil until fragrant, with the garlic becoming golden. This selection uses the offered canned crushed fire-roasted tomatoes.

The tomatoes, selected double-concentrated tomato paste, an initial portion of heavy cream, a peeled half yellow onion, oregano and kosher salt are added. The sauce simmers until thickened.

The onion half is removed and the remaining cream is stirred into the same sauce. The initial and finishing portions together make up the cream listed for the preparation.

Parmesan shavings and chopped fresh basil are optional finishing ingredients. The author offers the prepared sauce with pasta.
