Noodles & Company Penne Rosa [0000525]

Ingredients:

8 ounces gluten-free penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cook the gluten-free penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while continuing to stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted.

Toss the cooked gluten-free penne pasta into the creamy tomato sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.

Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and freshness.
