TOMATO CREAM PASTA
Is it pink or orange? It doesn’t sound nearly as fun when you say "orange pasta sauce," so I’m sticking with pink... Pink tomato cream sauce for the win!
INGREDIENTS & EQUIPMENT
Olive oil to cook your pasta
3 tbsp butter
1 shallot, minced
5 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
3 tbsp tomato paste
