These Carbs Don't Count
June 4, 2025
This Creamy Tomato Burst Pasta is rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Juicy cherry tomatoes are blistered and smushed in a garlicky butter and olive oil base, creating a luscious sauce. Tomato paste adds depth, while heavy cream, Parmesan, and fresh basil bring balance and richness. Tossed with perfectly al dente pasta and finished with extra cheese and herbs, this dish is quick to make and bursting with flavor.
