This Valentine’s Day Pink Pasta is a creamy, romantic fettuccine dish featuring a rich tomato-Parmesan sauce with a beautiful blush color. It is quick to prepare and perfect for a cozy dinner for two or a festive family meal.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the fettuccine in salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the heavy cream and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir until fully combined and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Toss the drained pasta in the sauce until fully coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a small knob of butter to the sauce while simmering.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
  • Serve immediately for the creamiest texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
