Pasta with tomato cream sauce


I know this photo is not good, but the taste of pasta with this sauce is perfect. It’s mild, it’s creamy and it’s super easy and super quick. Try after a long hard working day!

 

400 g pasta, any kind

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 small or 1/2 big onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp. dried basil

1 can chopped tomatoes in it’s juice

3/4-1 cup heavy cream

salt

 

Cook pasta according to directions on box. Drain well. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes, or until onion just begins to soften. Add garlic and basil to a pan. Continue cooking 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Pour blendered tomatoes into pan, stirring well to combine ingredients. When tomato sauce is heated through, approximately 2 minutes, stir in cream. Continue cooking 2 minutes. Add cooked pasta to pan with sauce and stir to coat. Serve immediately.

Warm pasta salads with feta


The weather is getting cold so I was looking for the warm food, but I didn’t want anything heavy so I suggest you to try this pasta dish with vegetabes. It’s satisfying but refreshing at the same time (because of tomatoes).

 

(4 servings)

200 g pasta

1 zuchhini (about 200 g)

1 yellow bell pepper

10 black olives, pitted

2 tomatoes

200 g feta

2 cloves garlic

fresh basil

oil for frying

 

Boil the pasta. Meanwhile cut zuchhini and bell pepper and fry in oil for a few minutes. Slice olives in thin rings. Cut tomatoes and feta in small squares, crush the garlic. Drain pasta and mix with other ingredients, except feta. Put feta at the end – if the pasta will be warm enough, feta will melt and will be like a sauce.

300-400 ml pasta

1 (185 g) can of tuna

1/2 onion

1 paprika

1-1 1/2 celery stalks

chopped dills

Dressing:

150-200 ml mayonnaise

1 garlic clove

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Boil pasta, then douche with the cold water and drain. Chop onions, mix with the drained tuna, chopped paprika and celery stalks. Prepare the dressing: mix mayonnaise with crushed garlic and mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Mix pasta with tuna mixture. Pour over the dressing and mix well again. Sprinkle with dills.
