Creamy Tomato with Vetta SMART Protein Spaghetti

Prep time: 5min Cooking time: 20 minutes, serves 4

  • 375g Vetta SMART Protein Spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp / 30g unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup / 250 ml tomato passata or tomato puree
  • 3/4 cup / 185 ml heavy or thickened cream
  • 1/2 cup / 125 ml milk, low fat
  • 3/4 cup / 30g parmesan, finely freshly grated
  • 1 tsp dried basil or other herb of choice
  • 1 tsp chicken or vegetable stock powder
  • Ground pepper and salt, to taste
  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Just before draining, scoop out a mugful of pasta cooking water.
  2. Melt butter in large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - about 2 minutes.
  3. Add remaining ingredients. Stir until parmesan is melted. Turn heat up slightly and simmer for 2 minutes. Season to taste.
  4. Add pasta to the pan. Toss for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens and is coating the pasta instead of swimming on the base of the pan. Use reserved pasta cooking water if required to thin the sauce out if required.
  5. Serve immediately. Garnish with more parmesan and fresh basil to taste.
