Creamy Tomato Pasta is a super easy five ingredient main dish recipe that adds cream cheese to a classic tomato and spaghetti dish. When I made this for the picture, I added minced garlic and some Parmesan cheese.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 (26-ounce) jar tomato pasta sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (16-ounce) package whole wheat spaghetti
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Add pasta sauce to onion mixture. Add water to empty jar; close jar and shake to loosen rest of pasta sauce; add to skillet along with undrained tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
A few minutes before the spaghetti is done, add cream cheese to pasta sauce; cook and stir until cheese melts and sauce is creamy.
Drain pasta and add to skillet with sauce; toss for a few minutes, then serve.
