How to Make Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in softened cream cheese until completely melted and smooth. Add a little pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs (optional).
