The Perfect Tomato Cream Sauce for Pasta

Lately, my boys have started asking me several times, to make their favorite pasta with the tomato cream sauce.
I am more than happy to cook it for them, as this recipe is my quick and healthy dinner option. To add some more protein in this meal, I usually add chicken or Italian sausage.
This sauce when put in the freezer, can be easily reused during later days.
Let me share the recipe of this sauce:
Preparation time: 5 minutes Cook Time -15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

Recipe:
