🌟 WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

Homemade pasta sauce in 20 minutes! Store-bought pasta and pizza sauces are very convenient when making things like Air Fryer Pizza Rolls and my easy No-Boil Pasta Bake, but making a homemade version is extra satisfying. If you haven't already, trying my Authentic Italian Pasta Sauce Recipe is a must! It is my Nonna's recipe and a personal favorite.

Meal prep friendly. Pink sauce pasta makes fantastic leftovers. Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy creamy pink sauce for lunch all week long. Try adding my easy Easy Italian Sausage and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner into the dinner rotation, too.

Pairs well with protein and veggies. Make this creamy tomato sauce pasta your own by adding your favorite protein and/or vegetables. Pink sauce goes particularly well with lobster ravioli, chicken, Italian sausage, roasted vegetables, or a simple side salad.
