Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce

 

I love tomato cream sauce but previously shied away from making it. However, I learned it’s a very easy sauce to make. You can see every step in the video below as well as detailed instructions in the recipe card.

I added spices and cajun seasoning to kick up a basic tomato cream sauce recipe. Although it’s impressive enough for guests, this pasta comes together easily in about 30 minutes making it a good option for weeknight meals as well.

Shrimp Pasta in Spicy New Orleans Tomato Cream Sauce Tips

The tomato cream sauce really has the best of both tomato sauce and cream sauce. It has the flavor and tang of a tomato sauce with a little heat from the seasonings and a smooth, creamy texture from the heavy whipping cream.

First of all, you may alter the red pepper and cajun seasoning amount to your desired level of heat. I tend to like spicy food and this had just the right balance for me.

Furthermore, you can use any shape pasta you like or that you have in the pantry. Hubs prefers angel hair. Angel hair pasta cooks quickly so that’s what I used. I have used 2 or 3 different kinds of pasta in the same dish when I have random amounts remaining in the packages. It all tastes the same so go for it.

You can use tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, or whole tomatoes in this recipe. I do prefer tomato sauce of diced tomatoes since it reguires a little less time. You wil need to break down the whole tomatoes so that they are not in big chunks.

Additionally, you can use green, red, orange, or yellow bell pepper or even add a jalapeno pepper for more kick when you cook this.

    Made this as directed and maybe added a little more hot sauce. It was delicious and spicy like we like it. I used angel hair pasta and thought the texture was perfect but any pasta would do. My husband definitely said to add this to the rotation. Quick, easy and delicious!!

    I made this recipe with seasoned chicken as my kids won’t eat shrimp and accidentally mixed up the red pepper and the paprika so it was pretty spicy and while I thought it was awesome the kids wouldn’t have eaten it so I threw in 4oz of cream cheese. I’m guessing the end result was basically the same which was my whole family thought it was one of the best ever. Will make this a regular in the rotation.

      It’s like bouillon cubes but in paste form. I like it better, it melts faster. Example> https://amzn.to/2M6LSRU

    This was good however I would make the following alterations if I make it again.
    It’s a heavy sauce, so I wouldn’t use angel hair pasta. A heavier pasta is needed, even regular spaghetti.
    I would use half and half in place of the heavy cream. Just too heavy in my opinion as the recipe is written. And I would use only 1 to 1.5 cups of tomato sauce. A little too “tomatoey”. Also, not sure the chili sauce is necessary.
    I would give it 3.5 stars if possible.
