The Perfect Tomato Cream Sauce for Pasta

Lately, my boys have started asking me several times, to make their favorite pasta with the tomato cream sauce.

I am more than happy to cook it for them, as this recipe is my quick and healthy dinner option. To add some more protein in this meal, I usually add chicken or Italian sausage.

This sauce when put in the freezer, can be easily reused during later days.
