Creamy Tomato Sauce

I was inspired to make a creamy tomato sauce when I saw a similar recipe on Stephanie Cooks. It was super simple and super quick to make and tastes way better than jarred sauce.


Ingredients
10 oz. heavy cream or half and half (I used half and half)
4 oz. tomato paste
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp olive oil
fresh chopped basil to taste

Directions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden brown. Add tomato paste, cream, cheese, oregano and basil. Stir to combine and cook until just heated throughout. Serve over al dente pasta.

Dijon Cream Sauce

Whenever I make this sauce my husband always says "Yes! You're making the sauce!!". Needless to say I make this for a lot of different dishes. It's so simple yet it tastes so decadent and can be used for a plethora of dishes.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup of heavy cream
• 2 heaping tsp of Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp of ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp of thyme (optional; I add or omit it depending on the flavors of the meat I'm working with)
• Salt
• Pepper

Direction

In a heavy sauce pan, whisk all ingredients together and heat over medium-low heat. Let the sauce reduce by half and serve hot.
