pink sauce

Tomato-cream pasta topping

Pink sauce is a creamy pasta sauce made by combining tomato-based red sauce with cream or white sauce, producing a pale reddish-pink color.

It typically has a milder, sweeter flavor than marinara: I'll have the penne with pink sauce.

The term gained renewed attention in 2022 when a TikTok creator's homemade pink sauce went viral, though that product—a mayonnaise-based condiment—differs entirely from the Italian-American pasta sauce.
