TOMATO CREAM SAUCE WITH RIGATONI
I've tried several tomato cream sauce recipes. Some with sausage, some with chicken and some with shrimp. All very good but this one is my favorite. A very large recipe. Easily enough sauce for 3 pounds pasta. If you are not feeding an army go ahead and make full sauce recipe anyway and freeze the leftover sauce. It thaws and reheats very nicely. I typically buy the large can of San Marzano tomatoes at Costco. It's so much cheaper. I really think there is a difference in taste with the San Marzano. Just be sure to buy tomatoes that are packed in puree. Makes the sauce even richer. Adjust the seasonings as you like. I seem to make spicier every time I make by adding more garlic, and red pepper. So good!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a heavy based saucepan. Add the onion and cook for 3 mins, stirring. Add garlic, season and cook for 2 mins more.
- Add toms and bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring.
- Use a knife to split open the sausages, then squeeze out the meat. Tip into a separate frying pan. Cook for 5 mins, breaking up the sausage meat with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the fennel seeds and cook for 5 mins more until the meat is cooked through and golden brown. Pour over the tomato sauce and leave to simmer while you cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water.
- Drain the pasta reserving a little of the water. If the sauce looks dry add a little of water then serve the sausage sauce spooned over the pasta. Sprinkle with basil.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Roast your tomatoes. Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality cream. A good quality cream will make your sauce smooth and rich. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized cream, as it can have a cooked flavor.
- Season your sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve your sauce immediately. Tomato cream sauce is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Tomato cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. The tips above will help you make the best tomato cream sauce possible.
