Ok, so I admit it, I’m hooked on Tomato Cream sauces. Ok ok, here is the real truth, I’m hooked on anything tomato. Tomato sandwiches, tomato soup, tomato sauces or just a plain tomato with salt and pepper, yum. I think maybe Joe (my husband) is getting a little tired of my love affair with tomatoes, although he really did like this Tomato cream sauce. And did you see these beautiful Fusilli Col Buco that I found. I have been saving them for a special tomato sauce and this is it. Hope you enjoy this recipe, should you decide to give it a try.
Fusilli Col Buco And Shrimp In Tomato Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
2/3 pound Fusilli Col Buco
1 pound extra-large Shrimp
2 tablespoon Butter
2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 small Onion – diced
2 cloves Garlic – minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 can Tomato Sauce, 8 ounces
1/2 cup Whipping Cream
fresh Basil, to taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Peel, devein and rinse shrimp. Cook Fusilli Col Buco until desired consistency. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper and cook in skillet until pink. Do not overcook. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, then add diced onion and minced garlic and cook over low-medium heat until tender. Add wine and let it reduce for 4-5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and cream, stir well and bring to a simmer. Chop fresh Basil and add to sauce, then add drained Fusilli Col Buco and Shrimp back into the sauce and stir well to make sure Fusilli is completely covered with sauce. Serve hot with grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Enjoy!

i love the simplicity of this pasta dish. it sounds very yummy! thank you for sharing this.
While I have always loved tomato sauce and salsa, I only recently discovered that I adore heirloom tomatoes. Couldn’t get enough of them this year. Add a little cream to your tomato sauce and it’s a treat!
This is a recipe I will love… thanks so much!
On a side note, I “tagged” you in the blog tag game on my recent Baked Potato Soup post. Hope that is OK!
YES! I will be trying this soon! I love the blend of cream and tomato — alfredo-type sauces are too heavy and, just sometimes, I want something more than just tomato. Well done.
Yeah, the tomato cream sauce sounds divine! Lovely dish!
I love cream in tomato sauce, I put it in lots of my dishes including ziti. I love the shrimp in yours.
