My husband makes this for dinner parties. It has always been a huge hit. All of our guests keep asking for more. Even the women who normally order low-fat and "dressing on the side" slurp this up. It is fabulous!

1 small onion chopped
3 cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
5 1/2 oz can tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp olive oil (I used more than this)
1/2 cup grated fine parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat olive oil in saucepan over med heat.
Stir in onion and garlic.
