Creamy Tomato Sauce and Spaghetti

Aug 8, 2014 · 22 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

When preparing a sauce the flavors run through your mind of what will suit your mood and your palate. Sometimes you may be feeling bold and sometimes you are feeling quite subtle. There are times you need to transport yourself in the blink of an eye to a vineyard in Italy or a café in France or the want to be near the rolling of the ocean meeting the shoreline. Food and the atmosphere that you lend have the ability to sweep you off without ever leaving your home. The music and the food will work magic.

    Catherine, Interesting recipe! The combination of the garlic cloves, hot pepper, salami and the rest must really pop up the flavor…with the cream cheese smoothing it out a bit. Thanks and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
