Resumo para quem tem pressa

"Penne with pink sauce combines peeled tomatoes sautéed in olive oil with garlic and the velvety consistency of heavy cream. The result is a pinkish sauce in which the natural acidity of the fruit is attenuated by the milky notes, creating a smooth and balanced profile. The tubular shape of the penne retains the creamy sauce in its outer ridges and inside the cylinder. Finished with grated parmesan cheese and emulsified with the pasta water, it is a functional and efficient preparation for quick meals."

Chef Tips

- Reserve meia concha da água do cozimento do penne para soltar e ligar o molho na frigideira. - Amasse os tomates pelados com colher de pau para manter pedaços pequenos de polpa ao longo do prato. - Deixe a massa al dente para que finalize o cozimento envolvida no calor do molho rosa.

Variations

- Pink with chicken: Add grilled chicken breast cubes before incorporating the heavy cream. - Spicy Rose: add a pinch of dried red pepper flakes to the olive oil along with the minced garlic. - Pink with basil: add torn fresh basil leaves when turning off the heat of the sauce.

Substitutions

- O penne pode ser trocado por rigatoni ou fusilli, massas curtas que retêm cremes com eficácia. - O tomate pelado pode ser substituído por 400g de tomates italianos maduros sem pele picados. - O azeite de oliva pode ser substituído por uma colher de sopa de manteiga sem sal no refogado.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat over low heat with two tablespoons of milk or filtered water to restore the smooth texture without drying the penne.

Can You Freeze It?

We do not recommend freezing the finished dish with the heavy cream and pasta, as the emulsion breaks when thawing. Freeze only the cooked peeled tomato base for up to 90 days.

What to Serve With

Serve in heated deep plates, spreading the sauce all over the pasta. Finish by sprinkling finely grated parmesan cheese and a subtle pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can heavy cream curdle when mixed with tomato sauce?

Yes, the acidity combined with intense boiling can separate the whey from the cream. To avoid this, reduce the heat to the minimum before adding the cream and do not let the mixture boil vigorously.

Why save the pasta cooking water?

The cooking water is rich in starch released by the penne. When mixing a few spoonfuls of this water into the sauce with the pasta, it helps to emulsify the fat and makes the cream adhere perfectly to the noodles.

Can I use ready-made tomato sauce from a sachet?

It can be used, but canned peeled tomatoes offer fresher flavor and fewer additives or sugars, ensuring a pink sauce base with cleaner acidity and superior texture.

What is the right time to add the Parmesan cheese?

The grated parmesan should be added on top of the individual plates right after serving, preserving its fresh aroma without burning or hardening in the skillet.
