A simple but delicious pasta sauce made with tinned tomatoes, basil and mascarpone. Perfect for a quick and easy mid-week family meal

Tomato Mascarpone Pasta

Mascarpone is one of those ingredients that I love eating (anything that’s in the cream or cheese category is ok with me!) but rarely use it in an actual recipe.

I remember eating a lot of Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauces from those supermarket pots when I was younger so I thought I’d have a go at making my own homemade version.

Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauce Recipe

Tomato & Mascarpone Sauce Ingredients

The ingredients are really very simple. For the sauce I used:

  • Tinned Tomatoes
  • Vegetable Stock
  • Balsamic Vinegar (helps to give a lovely depth of flavour to the tomatoes)
  • Dried Basil (could use oregano instead)
  • Mascarpone Cheese
Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauce Ingredients

All of the ingredients except for the mascarpone are put into a saucepan, brought to the boil and then simmered on low for 15 minutes.

Whilst the sauce is cooking, get the pasta cooking in another saucepan.

When the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and mix in the mascarpone until completely melted. Then stir into the drained cooked pasta.

So quick and easy but super tasty!

Storing & Freezing

If you don’t intend to eat all the sauce at once then it can be stored in a sealed jar or covered bowl in the fridge for up to 2 days.

It can also be frozen and defrosted overnight in the fridge.

    Probably the easiest pasta dinner I’ve ever made! Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It’s an absolute lifesaver for when I don’t have a lot of time nor inclination to get dinner on the table for the kids!
