I am always over stocked on pasta- to deal with any kinds of emergencies! Whether it is to cook a quick meal for my toddler or to make a filling easy main course for a party.

This is a basic sauce recipe which can be tweaked in a number of ways.You can replace the tomatoes with mushrooms or broccoli.You can also use dried herbs instead of fresh basil if you cant find any.

To make this Penne pasta in Creamy Alfredo Sauce vegan- Use any non dairy cream instead.You can see how to make almond milk at home here.

Tips to make your Pasta taste better!

  • Always boil pasta in salty water; the boiling water should taste like sea water!
  • Don't throw away the cooking water but use the pasta water to lighten the sauce.
  • Always UNDER cook pasta if it is to be baked

if you are looking to make an amazing veggie loaded pasta sauce, try my roasted tomato & red pepper sauce. It is mind blowing!
