My friend Sue makes this all the time and it's so crazy good and easy. She doesn't watch my show, but that's ok. A guy can't have everything, right? Marscapone is essentially a triple pasteurized cream cheese - but adds a silkiness like nothing else...

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta - your choice
  • 1 - 28 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 cup marscapone cheese
  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • fresh basil

Steps

  1. Bring large pot of water to a boil, and add pasta - it's all down hill from here
  2. Saute onion in olive oil and garlic until tender - about 5 minutes
  3. Add tomatoes from can (reserve juice) & squish in pan with back of spoon - mix well & heat through
  4. Add cheese and stir until all is thick, silky and creamy
  5. Drain pasta, add sauce and put in pasta bowls
  6. Top with freshly chopped basil
