Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsbs olive oil
  • 1 small onion grated
  • 2 cloves of garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1 pound favorite pasta (16 ounces)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • While you are making the sauce cook your pasta al dente. Don't forget to add some salt to the boiling water for your pasta!
  • In a medium saucepan add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grate your onion and garlic and add to the pan with the oil. I used a microplane. You know that gadget you have and never use? I use it because my kids hate chunky onion and garlic. You can also finely chop your onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes on medium heat.
  • Drop the heat to a simmer. Add the milk and butter to the pan until the butter melts and the milk is warmed through. Add salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomato puree and continue to simmer on low heat.
  • Strain your pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Add pasta, sauce, pasta water and parmesan to bowl and mix together. Yum!
