This recipe, sent in by Linda Adkins of Peachtree City, was given to her by her mother. She writes, "My mother, the recipe collector, is always trying to give me the best recipe! I'm usually on the road with a cellphone, but that particular time she said, 'You don't even need to write it down, it's that easy!' It has now been passed onto its third generation."
Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
12 ounces shell or other shaped pasta
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced
tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a well-oiled skillet, saute garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add red pepper and tomatoes and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Add cream and simmer 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes:
Reminiscent of the classic penne with vodka, this nonalcoholic version uses a splash of cream to give the sauce a mellow flavor
and a pink appearance. Top with sprigs of fresh basil to brighten it further.
