Penne with Tomato Cream Sauce
2 boxes (24oz) Amish Naturals Fiber Rich Penne Pasta
4 quarts Water
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Garlic, crushed
1 28 oz can Petite Diced Tomatoes
2 cups Heavy Cream
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup Bread Crumbs
1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Boil water with tablespoon of kosher salt in large covered stock pot. Remove lid, add pasta and boil for 6-8 minutes or until al dente (soft but not overcooked). Drain pasta through colander and rinse immediately with cold water to stop cooking process. Set aside.
In a large sauté pan, over medium heat melt butter and sauté garlic for about one minute. Add tomatoes (with juice) and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, and season to taste.
Stir cooked pasta into sauce and cook long enough to heat pasta. Divide pasta evenly among 5 individual baking dishes. Top with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Place baking dishes on a sheet tray and broil on high for about 2 minutes, or until crumb topping is golden brown. Serve immediately.
