1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cups seeded and chopped plum tomatoes |
1 (8-oz.) package sliced fresh mushrooms |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried crushed red pepper |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
3 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
3 tablespoons grated romano cheese |

2. Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes and next 3 ingredients; cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
