I’m not one to brag. But when I knock it out of the ball park and my whole family liked it, I’m going to shout it from the roof tops (or maybe just a 2nd story window).

Can you spot the two secret ingredients below?

If you guessed wine and heavy cream, you’re right. You just can’t lose with those! Now let’s get cooking!

This recipe only takes about 20-25 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

1 TB olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (about 6)
Fresh leaf spinach
Red bell bepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups (1 can) tomato sauce
1/4 cup parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/3 cup heavy cream
Box of rigatoni (wheat if you want bonus points)
Parmesan cheese (to taste)

Directions:

Start Cooking Pasta, then heat oil in saucepan over medium heat, add shallots, mushrooms and red pepper – cook 3-4 minutes

Add tomato sauce, parsley and salt/pepper – bring to simmer and cook 4-5 minutes

Stir in heavy cream – simmer 2 minutes

Serve over pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese

Best of all, no need to make a side dish (unless you want to show off).
