Simple tomato sauces go well with long, thin pasta like spaghetti or bucatini. Fine pasta (orecchiette or spaghetti) also tastes good with simple pesto.

For the sauce, you only need 120 grams of double cream cheese and 80 grams of dried tomatoes. If you like, you can spice up the simple sauce with a little basil and you should definitely season it with salt and pepper. For many Italians, grated Parmesan cheese is also a must for pasta dishes at home.
