Ingredients:
– 1 cup tomato passata
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 3 tbsp butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by making the tomato sauce. Heat the butter in a pan and add the minced garlic. Cook over low heat for a minute or two until fragrant.
2. Add the tomato passata to the pan and cook over low heat for another five minutes until the sauce has reduced to a slightly thick consistency.
3. Now, it is time to add the cream. Mix the cream into the tomato sauce and stir until well combined.
4. Let the sauce cook on low heat for another five minutes, stirring occasionally until it begins to thicken.
5. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until fully melted. The cheese will provide more flavor and enhance the texture of the sauce.
6. Finally, season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remember to start with a little amount of salt and add more if necessary.
And voila! You should now have a delicious pink sauce ready to serve.
Here are a few tips and variations you can use to make your pink sauce stand out:
– For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce while cooking.
– For a more creamy consistency, use whole milk instead of heavy cream.
– You can use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato passata. Just cook them down in the pan along with garlic and a little bit of olive oil.
– For a vegetarian or vegan option, butter with olive oil and use a non-dairy alternative to heavy cream such as almond milk or coconut cream.
In conclusion, making a perfect pink sauce at home is an easy process. Combining the tangy flavors of tomato sauce with the creaminess of heavy cream results in a deliciously decadent sauce that can be used in many ways. From pasta sauces to dips to dressings, a pink sauce adds an extra touch to any dish. Be adventurous and try out the variation of this recipe to create your signature pink sauce.
