Enjoy this penne pasta coated in a creamy Rao's rosé sauce, perfectly balanced between the tomatoes' acidity and the cream's sweetness. A simple dish enhanced with grated Parmesan and basil for a delicate finishing touch.

Ingredients

  • 410g (4 cups) penne rigate
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) dry white wine
  • 1 jar Rao’s Roasted Garlic Sauce
  • 250ml (1 cup) 35% cream
  • Salt to taste
  • 30g (1/2 cup) parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  • Preheat a large pot of lightly salted water to cook the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan, brown finely chopped onion in olive oil.
  • Deglaze the onions with white wine and reduce until almost dry.
  • Add Rao’s Roasted Garlic sauce and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the 35% cream and reduce the sauce for 2 minutes over low heat.
  • Cook the pasta, drain it, and gently mix it with the pink sauce.
  • Add half of the Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
  • Serve and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pasta.

Tips

  • Use 35% cream when the sauce is acidic to prevent the cream from curdling and forming small white dots.
  • You can replace the white wine with chicken stock, vegetable stock, or a little white wine vinegar.
  • For a good al dente pasta texture, avoid overcooking it in boiling water, as it will continue to cook in the sauce.
