PARMA ROSA SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add tomatoes (peeled if you prefer), salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cover and cook until the tomatoes "collapse." (About 10 minutes) Uncover and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is very smooth. Add water if needed to keep sauce from sticking to the pan. Slowly stir in the cream, then add a pinch of sugar (to cut the tartness of the tomatoes). Simmer sauce to incorporate cream. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and parsley. Stir until cheese is melted, then serve over hot pasta.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, heat olive oil, then add the garlic cloves (whole so they add a "gentle" garlic flavor).
• Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and cook tomatoes until they're soft and collapsed (about 10 min.). If the skins bother you, then fish them out.
• Uncover and cook, stirring often, until the mix is very smooth. Add water, if needed, to keep sauce from sticking to the pot. Stir in cream slowly, then add sugar (or carrot), if needed. (Taste it. The sweet carrot/sugar tempers the acidic tomatoes. You'll know if you need to add sugar if the sauce is really tart.).
• Simmer the sauce a bit for the cream to become incorporated. Add water, if needed, to bring the sauce to desired consistency.
