Neal's Delicious Creamy Tomato Sauce

Courtesy of Dr. Neal H*

2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 T. olive oil
1 t. minced garlic
1 t. italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 can peeled, diced tomatoes (petite diced, stewed, whichever you prefer)
1/2 c. half & half or heavy cream
1/2 c. parmesan cheese, grated

Heat oil in a large, shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, stir for 2 minutes. Then add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes and reduce heat to medium-low. Add italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or while pasta is cooking. Add cream at the end, toss with pasta, then stir in cheese. The sauce is quite loose, and is delicious served with gnocchi.
