Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Anelli pasta (or ditalini pasta)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the anelli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Stir in the tomato paste and continue whisking until fully combined.
Slowly add the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and gently stir to coat the pasta rings evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy!
