This super easy sauce recipe uses fresh cherry tomatoes and heavy cream to create a bright and flavorful pasta dish! I use Jovial gluten-free brown rice pasta, however, any type of pasta will work. For a spicier sauce, add in a finely diced serrano chili pepper when you add the tomatoes. Serve with a large green salad for a balanced vegetarian meal.
