Make Effortless Pasta Sauce With One Canned Soup

NEWS

BY JULIA MULLANEY

Making your own pasta sauce is pretty simple, and for a hearty, cozy cream sauce that resembles more Alfredo sauce, you can use canned cream of mushroom soup.
Any "cream of" soup can become a delicious, comforting cream sauce. You can just add a little pasta
water to the soup, toss it with your favorite pasta, and call it a day.
However, a few add-ons can turn the sauce into something like a mushroom Alfredo. Add a bit of dry rosé to cut through the salt and sautéd mushrooms and garlic for added texture.
To thin out the soup, add whole milk or season the pasta water. Basic seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, and a little crushed red pepper are great additions as well.
