Traditional Italian Cinque Pi Pasta

A simple and creamy Italian pasta dish made with five key elements: cream, tomatoes, parmigiano, pepper, and parsley, combined over your favorite pasta.

Ingredients

• 800 g (1 1/2 lb) pasta
• 4 dl (1 1/2 cups) heavy cream
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (chopped)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Start cooking the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
2. In a separate pan, mix the cream with the tomato paste and bring to a boil.
3. Turn the heat down to medium and stir in as much grated Parmigiano as you like.
4. Let the sauce simmer on medium to low heat until the pasta is done.
5. Add chopped fresh parsley and black pepper to the sauce.
6. Toss the drained pasta directly into the sauce or serve the sauce separately over the pasta.
7. Serve hot garnished with additional grated Parmigiano and a fresh leaf of parsley.
