Simple Tomato Sauce Pasta Dishes

I usually do all the cooking at home for me and my husband since I enjoy it and he prefers to handle the cleanup. However, I’ve been under the weather lately, which means he’s taken on more of the cooking duties. To make it easier for him, I’ve been focusing on simple recipes, and luckily, we both share a love for pasta!

The challenge is that he’s a huge fan of tomato sauce-based pasta, while I tend to favor creamy sauces. So, I’m on the lookout for more easy tomato sauce pasta ideas beyond just bolognese and lasagna, especially ones that can use store-bought sauces.

What are your go-to easy pasta dishes?

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve been feeling unwell! It’s great that you’re looking for easy tomato-based pasta dishes. Here are a few simple ideas that your husband can whip up using store-bought sauces:

    1. Pasta Arrabbiata: Just cook your pasta and heat up some spicy marinara sauce (arrabbiata). Add some red pepper flakes if you like extra heat, and finish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.

    2. Pasta Puttanesca: Sauté garlic, olives, and capers in olive oil, then add store-bought marinara sauce. Toss in cooked pasta and sprinkle with fresh basil.

    3. Tomato Basil Pasta: Cook pasta and mix it with a jar of marinara. Add fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil for a fresh take.

    4. One-Pot Tomato Pasta: In a large pot, combine pasta, a jar of tomato sauce, garlic, onions, and some water. Cook everything together until the pasta is tender. This means less cleanup too!

    5. Pasta Primavera with Tomato Sauce: Sauté seasonal vegetables (like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach) and add in a jar of marinara. Mix it with your favorite pasta for a quick veggie-packed meal.

    6. Italian Sausage and Tomato Pasta: Brown some Italian sausage in a pan, then add a jar of tomato sauce. Toss with cooked pasta and top with cheese.

    7. Baked Ziti: Mix cooked pasta with marinara sauce and some ricotta cheese, place in a baking dish, sprinkle with mozzarella, and bake until golden and bubbly.

    These dishes are not only easy but also delicious, allowing you both to enjoy your pasta preferences. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
