Creamy Spinach and Tomato Sauce -

The chilly nights have sparked many cravings for creamy soups and sauces in our house. There’s just something so comforting about a rich, creamy blend that makes everything taste so much better in the winter. This week I used one of our new favorite creamy spinach and tomato sauces on top of a bed of cheese raviolis. Tasty and filling!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Ingredients for creamy spinach and tomato sauce:

3 tbsp butter, salted
2 tbsp tomato paste
14 oz can of tomato sauce
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 can diced tomatos
1-2 cups spinach
salt and pepper to taste
8-12 oz ravioli or favorite pasta

Preparation:

Boil water for you pasta while you prepare your sauce.
Heat a medium skillet on medium heat and melt your butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add in tomato paste, sauce, and cream. Stir well until blended, then add in your Italian seasoning. Increase to medium-high heat and allow sauce to thicken and bubble just a bit.
Reduce heat to low and add fresh spinach and diced tomatoes. Cover and allow spinach to steam for several minutes. Drain your pasta as it steams.
Stir your sauce and add a bit of water if you prefer your sauce to be a bit thinner consistency.
Plate your pasts and pour a generous helping of creamy spinach and tomato sauce on top.

The great thing about this delicious cream sauce is its versatility. If you’re a chicken or seafood lover, you’ll want to coating them with this creamy blend. I’ve made shrimp and penne pasta mixed with this the creamy spinach and tomato sauce, but have also done without pasta and covered chicken breast in the tasty Italian blend. You can’t go wrong experimenting with dishes. In fact, spice it up with pepper flakes and see which version your family prefers!
