Submitted by RyGuy

"This easy to make pasta dish is my favorite. Mom serves it with warm Italian bread and a side salad. There are always leftovers to enjoy as well!"

Made this tonight and it was divine! Easy, uses everyday ingredients and fairly fast to make. I didn't know how long it would take to reduce the cream, and it did take more than 15 minutes, but maybe because I had doubled the recipe, so mine came out a little thinner but tasty just the same. I did add salt to taste at the end. Thanks for posting an awesome recipe!

RyGuy, this recipe is excellent! I doubled it so we could have extra for lunch tomorrow. I used 2- 20 ounce packages of Buitoni Four Cheese Ravioli, and used crushed tomatoes. There was still a good amount of sauce left in the pan if anyone wanted a little extra. That will come in handy when reheating tomorrow. Thank You for a great dinner idea!
