Simple Tomato Cream Pasta

This is similar to my Vodka Cream Pasta recipe, but a little lighter in flavor. We had it for the first time today and I thought it was yummy. We made it as is, but I'm sure you could add any of your favorite veggies, or meat if you're cooking for a carnivore :)

3/4 - 1 lb penne pasta
1-2 Tbs. butter
1-2 Tbs. olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced or crushed)
1 small onion-diced
1/2 cup white wine
8 oz. plain tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper
basil (fresh, or dry)
parsley (optional)

In a large pan melt butter and olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and saute. Add onions and saute until soft. Add white wine and let alcohol reduce for a few minutes. Add tomato sauce and mix well. Add cream, mix, and remove from heat. Add salt and pepper, basil, and parsley. Mix with pasta and enjoy!
