Penne Pasta in a Creamy Sherry Tomato Sauce

Olorosoとペア

A splash of Oloroso in the sauce helps to elevate the flavors. The nuttiness of the wine also adds richness to the dish.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to directions on box. Drain and set aside.
Chop onion and garlic, set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large sauce pan. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to turn translucent (3-5 minutes). Add in oregano, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute. Add in the can of tomato puree and let simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stir in the sherry and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the cream. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add in the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Divide the pasta evenly into 4 separate bowls. Top each bowl with a few small dollops of ricotta cheese. Top with red pepper flakes and parsley if desired. Enjoy!
