Description

A creamy and tomatoey rosé-style sauce that comes together in about 30 minutes, perfect for pairing with ravioli or any pasta.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock (or vegetable stock if preferred)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, warm olive oil and sauté onion and garlic for about 4–5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about a minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  3. Add stock, diced tomatoes, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and creamy.
  5. Serve immediately over cooked ravioli.

Notes

  • Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock for a vegetarian version.
  • Half-and-half or milk can be used for a lighter version.
  • Add fresh basil or lemon juice for extra brightness.
  • Stir in Parmesan or red pepper flakes for added depth.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to a month.
