One of my favorite kind of recipes to create is pasta dishes. Coincidentally, I also love to eat pasta. This sauce has both Parmesan and Provolone cheeses along with fire roasted tomatoes. Ever since I tried fire roasted tomatoes a few months ago, they’ve been a staple in my pantry. They pack a bit more flavor than plain diced tomatoes.
The sauce may sound like it’s hard to make, but it comes together in about 15 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:
We ate this over cheese ravioli. The kids all loved it. I served a green salad with it. The meal was every bit as good as one you could order in a nice restaurant, only it was faster and cheaper at home.

This looks soooo soooo good and sooo sooo easy. Thanks for sharing!
I agree! I tried fire-roasted tomatoes not too long ago and loved that deeper flavor with a bite, that these have; love your easy and fuss-free recipe!
I used the only cheese blend I had on hand-the 4 cheese blend from Trader Joe’s. On ravioli, just like yours :). It was very, very good. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, it’s a keeper!
Question, Tiffany. Your ingredient picture shows salt, but it isn’t listed in the recipe. Should it be?
I just made this for the first time (without salt 🙂 ) and it is yummy! Maybe I’ll add a little salt to see how that is. Thanks for the recipe.
Natalie, if it tastes good without salt, you can skip it. Sometimes, when I make up recipes things end up in the photo that I don’t end up needing later.
