I absolutely love goat cheese! I’m always trying to find new ways to use it. I decided to swap out traditional Parmesan cheese for goat cheese in this Pasta with Creamy Goat Cheese Tomato Sauce recipe!
This post contains affiliate links. See our Disclosure Statement for more information.
I picked up the pasta and Prego Farmers’ Market® Classic Marinara Sauce at Walmart and grabbed the grape tomatoes and basil from the produce section there. The goat cheese is in a separate display that is also right by the produce section.
I haven’t always loved to cook. And, I haven’t always been good at it either. I used to follow recipes step-by-step and would still mess up an entire meal on a regular basis! Somehow, some way all that changed thankfully, but when I develop recipes to share I always try to make them so you can’t mess them up the way I used to!
This recipe is a pretty basic recipe but with a tasty little twist. I used the Prego Farmers’ Market® Classic Marinara Sauce because it contains simple ingredients picked at peak, like what you’d find at a Farmer’s Market! It’s so good that I don’t even bother making my own sauce anymore, but for this Pasta with Creamy Goat Cheese Tomato Sauce recipe, I add a few things to change the flavor profile just a tad! The goat cheese gives it a creamier texture with a little tanginess and the oven roasted grape tomatoes and basil bring out even more of that homemade taste we all love! This is most definitely comfort food at it’s finest!
The best part? This entire meal comes together in 30 minutes or less! It’s a really delicious option for a busy weeknight meal and the leftovers (if you should have any) are just as good the next day for lunch!
If you like more basil flavor, try the Prego Farmers’ Market® Tomato and Basil Sauce, or if you’re more of a garlic lover they have you covered as well with the Roasted Garlic flavor!
Be sure to let me know if you make this Pasta with Creamy Goat Cheese Tomato Sauce and what you think!
Enjoy!
- 1 Cup cherry or grape tomatoes *I used grape
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lb pasta *I used rotini
- 1 jar Prego Farmers' Market® Classic Marinara Sauce
- 1/4 Cup goat cheese crumbled
- 1 Tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
-
Preheat oven to 400° F. Start cooking your pasta as directed on the package.
-
In a small bowl, toss together the tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until roasted. Remove and set aside.
-
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add the Prego Fresh Market® Classic Marinara Sauce. Once warmed, add the goat cheese and stir until melted.
-
Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the sauce and toss to combine (or you can do as I did, and place yoru pasta in individual bowls and top with the desired amoount of sauce). Top each bowl with the roasted tomatoes, chopped basil, and more crumbled goat cheese, if desired.
Love easy, quick pasta dishes and adding the goat cheese is just yummy.

This dish looks delicious! I love pasta and I’m always looking for new recipes to try. I’d never thought to use goat cheese. Great idea!
This looks yummy – I clicked on the coupon but it says “exceeded print limit” ? Thanks for the recipes!
Hmm I don’t know? It should only say that if you’ve already printed it once already?
Wow this seriously looks DEEEElish and I especially love your food-tography 🙂 thanks for posting, have a great week xo
I didn’t know prego made a farmer’s market brand until your post. This may be the perfect compromise between my husband insisting we use Prego and my more “natural” inclinations 🙂
I love goat cheese and bet this pasta tastes as fantastic as it looks. Definitely need to try the spaghetti sauce, I’m a Prego fan.
