This pasta has a beautiful blush colour and the taste is fabulous. Had to estimate the amount of pasta as it called for 1/2 package. I have also added shrimp or mussels to this on occasion.
Ingredients:
1 (350 g) box penne pasta
1/2 cup onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon thyme
2 tablespoons basil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup half-and-half cream (divided 1/4 c)
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. Cook penne as per package directions.
2. In large skillet over medium heat, cook onions in butter for 8-10 minute
3. Add thyme, basil, salt and cook 1 minute longer.
4. Add 1/2 C cream, broth and tomato paste.
5. Cook and stir until well blended.
6. Combine flour and remaining 1/4 C cream until smooth.
7. Gradually stir into onion mixture.
8. Bring to boil, cook and stir continuously for 2 minutes to thicken.
9. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
10. Toss with noodles and additional Parmesan.
