Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Filiz Penne Pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
- While the pasta cooks, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of Biryağ Sunflower Oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of Tat Tomato Paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to deepen its flavor.
- Pour in 1 cup of Puck Evaporated Milk and about 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried Rosemary, and season with Salt and Black Pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Add the drained penne pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat all the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Teksüt Mozzarella Cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade Creamy Tomato Penne!
Pro Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a subtle kick.
- Don't rinse your pasta after draining; the starch helps the sauce cling better to the penne.
- If you prefer a richer sauce, you can use Puck Cream Cheese instead of evaporated milk, adjusting the quantity to your taste.
