I love this recipe! I use tomato paste instead of sauce and serve with mashed cauliflower for an awesome low carb supper. Leaves us wanting to lick our plates!

Made this tonight for dinner and it was yummy. I used olive oil instead of butter, fat free half and half instead of whipping cream, and 1 tbs tomato paste. I could just eat the sauce by itself.
