Penne with tomatoes

To make penne with tomatoes like real Italians, the pasta itself needs to be cooked until al dente. To do this, cook it for a minute less than indicated on the package. Real pasta will never be crumbly and loose. You can use both fresh and canned tomatoes. Adjust the amount of spices according to your taste preferences.

How to cook Penne with tomatoes

Step 1

Penne with tomatoes

Prepare the tomato sauce. Place the pan on medium heat, add olive oil and fry the garlic and leek. Pour in the tomato mixture, add salt and pepper. Pour in the cream and cover with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes on low heat.

Step 2

Cook the penne. Pour boiling water from the kettle into a saucepan, set it on medium heat, pour in the penne and stir. Cook according to the instructions on the package, stirring constantly. Then drain the water through a colander, and put the penne back into the saucepan.

Step 3

Combine ingredients. Combine penne with tomato sauce and mix well. Add basil.

Penne with tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use half-and-half, whole milk, or even coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative. The sauce will be slightly less rich but still creamy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free penne and ensure all other ingredients (like cream) are certified gluten-free. The sauce is naturally gluten-free.
Yes, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, adding a little water or cream to refresh the sauce.
Substitute with finely chopped onion or shallots for a similar flavor. Green onions (white parts only) also work in a pinch.
Replace cream with coconut milk or cashew cream, and ensure the pasta is egg-free. Use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor if desired.
Stir frequently and use plenty of boiling water (4–6 quarts per pound of pasta). A drizzle of oil in the water can help, but stirring is key.
Grilled chicken, shrimp, or white beans pair well. Cook separately and stir in when combining the penne and sauce.
Serve with garlic bread, a crisp green salad, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
