EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Replacing whipping cream with evaporated skimmed milk is the secret to cutting calories and fat in this sauce. To lower fat and calories even more, leave out the olive oil, and use a nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray.

Use a mini-food processor to quickly chop the onion and garlic.

Pasta Pairings with Tomato Cream Sauce: Choose a sturdy pasta, such as penne or mostaccioli, with this chunky cream sauce. Or try a long, wide pasta, such as fettuccine.

Easy and excellent recipe! Used diced tomatoes, didn't drain, and it was wonderfully rich and delicious. Served with gnocchi.
