Description

Capriciosa means capricious in English. Capricious means whimsical, fantastic, irregular and even unrestrained. That is this dish in a nutshell.

Ingredients

  • Olive Oil, As Needed
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Smashed And Minced
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 4 whole Fresh Roma Tomatoes, Seeded And Diced
  • ¼ cups White Wine
  • 1 can (24 Oz. Size) Tomato Sauce, I Used The Seasoned Kind
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1  Small Handful Fresh Basil Chopped
  • 1 pound Penne Style Pasta, Cooked According To Package Directions (I Like Rigate—It Has Ridges And Holds The Sauce Better)
  • Parmesan Cheese, To Serve

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add onion, garlic, salt and pepper; saute for about 4 minutes until the onions are clear. Add the tomatoes and saute another 2 minutes until tomatoes are soft.

Deglaze pan with white wine and continue to cook until reduced. Now add the tomato sauce, heavy cream and basil. Stir until combined. Simmer another 10 minutes.

Serve with cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese.

A perfectly simple dish to whip up when time is running short. I skip the wine, but the flavor is still great. I keep the ingredients on hand at all times just because it’s so quick and easy.
