Ingredients

• 16 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 6

Gently stir in the heavy cream, ensuring the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more salt or pepper to your preference.

Step 9

Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the Palomino sauce. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the pasta is warmed through.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
