We are HUGE pasta lovers over here in my household. We have it on repeat at least once a week. Pasta is so versatile, easy to make and a family budget friendly meal.

I love to mix it up with different flavors of pasta sauce. Store-bought pasta sauce is a great way to go, but have you ever tried making your own? If you think it sounds like a lot, you are wrong. At least for this pasta sauce recipe. You will only need a few kitchen gadgets and ingredients and you’ll be on your way!

COOKING TIPS

• Use sun-dried tomatoes in a jar for a more flavorful pasta sauce.
• Season the pasta sauce after blending the ingredients together.
• Make sure to reserve some pasta water as you will need it to thin out the cream sauce. This also allows for the sauce to blend properly with the pasta.
• Feel free to increase the amount of spices for this recipe: basil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and onion powder. This will make the sun-dried tomato sauce even more flavorful!
