Goat Cheese and Tomato Sauce

Goat cheese adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor to ordinary spaghetti sauce. Works with homemade sauce or pour it right out of a jar to save tons of time, making this a super easy 10 minute meal!

Two ingredient Creamy Goat Cheese and Tomato Sauce

Spaghetti has always been my go-to for nights when a) I don’t want to cook, or b) my kids are balking at everything I suggest. It’s easy to whip up using jarred sauce and dry pasta and I can have dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes.

Lately we’ve been getting tired of the same old stand-by so I decided to try to change it up a little bit. My plan was to make a creamy sauce using heavy cream or cream cheese. So I heated my sauce and cooked up the pasta, then went to the fridge to find that neither of those things were there. But I did have goat cheese, so I gave it a try and it was so delicious! My kids gobbled it up and there were hardly any leftovers.

    Thanks for the post! I was making homemade meat sauce and it called for cheddar cheese, however I felt compelled to use up some goat cheese that I had in the fridge. I was skeptical because I usually add goat cheese to white wine sauces, or oil based sauce but it turned out fantastic!

    What kind of goat cheese are you using? (A soft cheese? A hard cheese? A specific brand?)

      I used a softer goat cheese that comes in a log. But the crumbled kind would work fine too.
