Traditional Pasta Primavera in Pink Sauce

The story behind

This primavera pasta recipe is the definition of simplicity and elegance. I love how the pink sauce covers every fold of the penne, creating a creamy experience enhanced by the acidity of a cherry tomato and the aroma of basil, as seen in this careful presentation. It's a dish that balances homemade flavor with a clean, professional soul.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook the penne pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a skillet with a bit of oil, sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the tomato puree and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream until a uniform pink sauce is obtained.
  4. 4
    Add the penne pasta to the skillet and toss well so it's coated in the sauce.
  5. 5
    Season with salt, pepper, and some chopped basil leaves.
  6. 6
    Serve in a white ceramic bowl and garnish with a cherry tomato and fresh basil leaves in the center.
  7. 7
    Enjoy immediately, with an optional touch of parmesan cheese on top.
