One of my family’s favorites and I hope it will become yours too! This Creamy tomato pasta is rich, savory and feeds its fair share. Its made with a lot of familiar ingredients that come together in a way that feels like home. If you make this, let me know what you think on my Instagram! I’d love to hear how you did.
