Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

This Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce is amazing and going to become a favorite! So simple to make and comes together in no time at all.  It’s perfect!

Life is crazy busy with five boys.  I tried so hard yesterday to get this post done and before I knew it, it was 10:00 PM and I was just walking in the door from the last of our three baseball games last night.  Oh boy am I tired.

Remember how I told you I have a cookbook addiction?  Well, today I showed amazing self-control and I walked out of Sam’s Club WITHOUT a cookbook or cooking magazine.  I had one in my hands that was calling out my name, and I mean REALLY calling out my name, but I was strong and resisted.  I am so proud of myself.

Anyway, this Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce comes from the amazing Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook.  I love her recipes. This stuff is soooo good, even my pickiest eaters were devouring it.  When I looked at this recipe and saw how simple and what few ingredients were in it, I wondered if this would really be that good.   Well, I was completely and totally wrong.  This pasta was absolutely delish!  I even warmed up the leftovers the next day for lunch and it was still just as good.

You really need to make this, like NOW!   It is so quick, so simple, and so delicious!
