Tomato-garlic pasta is incredibly easy to make. This meatless pasta recipe is quick, too, coming together in just 25 minutes! The use of butter reduces some of the acid in the tomatoes, making a smooth and creamy pasta sauce that everyone will love.

I dread dinner sometimes.  I put thought into what I am making, I take time to shop for ingredients, spend time making it and plate it in the most appetizing way possible to avoid the constant complaining of my oldest (picky) child.

So, imagine my utter shock this evening when I made something that my son actually complimented!?!

I made something that was not meant to be dipped in barbecue sauce or on a bun and he ate it and what’s more…He LIKED it!!  I feel like I need to shout this from the rooftops!!
 Easy Tomato-Garlic Pasta Recipe - This easy dinner has a creamy pasta sauce made from butter, olive oil, tomatoes, and garlic.

I have always had a little satisfaction in knowing that my younger son will eat just about anything. He is a budding food connoisseur in his own right.  He is, after all, the one who gave me my little nickname :  Basilmomma.

But now that I have this stellar endorsement from my 11 year old, I am going to share this very easy and super yummy tomato-garlic pasta recipe with all of you.  You really can’t go wrong here.  This is simple and will please even the most critical of your family members.

I must warn you….this dish is heavy on the garlic.  It is subtle, but necessary.  Don’t cut corners here, use real garlic.  You won’t regret it.  Your co-workers  may…but you won’t!

I hope you enjoy this tomato-garlic pasta recipe as much as my son does.

Oh, and if you love meatless pasta recipes, but you’re not so much into the garlic, you should check out my one-pot lemon herb pasta recipe. It’s another family favorite! Or this easy cheesy baked tortellini.

  • 6 TB butter
  • 1 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes (I use Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes by Red Gold )

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, cook the garlic in the olive oil on very low heat for 15 minutes. Stir from time to time.
