@breadbakebeyond: Cherry Tomato & Basil Shellbows This pasta is my go-to for a dinner that feels fancy while still being fairly easy to make. I like to add fresh herbs and a bit of basil oil to enhance the flavors. The Mozzarella pearls also lend a nice creaminess to the rich cherry tomato sauce. *You can find the full recipe with instructions on my Instagram highlights* Ingredients: - 1/2 pound pasta - 1 cup heavy cream - 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (reserve some for serving) - 1 tablespoon tomato paste - 4-6 garlic cloves, minced - 1/4 cup white wine - 1 teaspoon chili flakes (reduce if preferred less spicy) - 2 teaspoons black pepper - Kosher salt, to taste - 4 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter - 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved - 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped - 1 teaspoon fresh oregano (optional) Enjoy! #pastalover #homecooked #italiancuisine #foryou Creamy Pasta Cherry Tomato Recipes Easy Italian Recipes Comfort Food Ideas
