Creamy Cheesy Marinara Sauce: Jump to Recipe
Helloooooo Pasta, this is totally comfort in a bowl! A perfect creamy and cheesy twist on a classic. I am not a super fan of tomatoes so I love ways to tune down that distinct flavor while at the same time getting to enjoy something as classic as pasta with sauce. With a few VERY simple updates this recipe can add a little range to the traditional sauce.
What is great is that this recipe works off of the same base ingredients as our Homemade Marinara Sauce. So if you made that and LOVED it, the same way we do, then you will love this too!
I always know a recipe is a hit when Code Name: “Husband” tells me “you can make this again” It’s doesn’t sound exactly like a rave review but it is actually secret code from please make this again next week. This is a very simple meal that pairs perfectly with a light salad and some crunchy garlic bread.
