I made Ceil in NJ's homemade ravioli and was looking for a rich but smooth sauce to accompany it. Tomato based with cheese, cream, pesto, and garlic. A great combination! This sauce is also excellent in lasagna! Easy and quick to make. A little goes a long way. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 crushed garlic cloves (more if preferred) |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
3 tablespoons cream cheese |
2 -3 teaspoons pesto sauce |
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup cream |
fresh basil, to top with |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté crushed garlic for 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in tomato sauce.
4. Add salt, pepper, and pesto.
5. Add cream cheese and stir or whisk well until fully melted.
6. Stir parmesan cheese until melted.
7. Add cream and stir well.
