Fettuccine with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce

This is something I have made twice now in recent history for our dinners with Cory. He, actually, gave me the recipe, which he got from his mom. This is delicious. I mean, who doesn’t love the flavor combination of tomato and basil?!? I highly recommend this!

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or to make this vegetarian, I have used vegetable broth)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 pound tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/3 cup shredded fresh basil leaves
  • 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1.  In large skillet, combine cream, broth, and oil. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat and simmer vigorously for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil and continue to simmer for 1 minute more.
2.  While sauce is simmering, cook fettuccine. Drain well and toss in skillet with Parmesan cheese and sauce to coat well.

    Basil is one of my favorite herbs! I think I would like to create a basil perfume. :)

  4. That recipe not only LOOKS delicious, but it actually does not look too difficult to make. (Pasta’s are not normally in my “easy to make”) category.
    Nothing like a recipe from “Mom’s” recipe box. We know they are usually “no fail” recipes.

    A must try for sure, thanks for sharing!

    Good luck and enjoy!!!
