Pasta With Tomato Cream Cheese Sauce
During the summer and early fall, we use tomatoes from our garden to make this sauce. After the tomato season has ended, we use canned tomatoes instead.
The recipe is adapted from Low-Fat Express: Great Taste in 30 Minutes, by Jean Paré, and is part of the Company’s Coming series. The recipe is simple to make, and tastes delicious. The spinach pasta adds a bit of extra colour and eye appeal.
If you don’t have spinach pasta in the cupboard, you could substitute another type of gluten free pasta, and the result will taste just as good.
