You could either substitute half and half for it, and reduce the sauce a little longer, or try leaving it out altogether, and see what happens. You could also add a bit more of the cheese at the end--it also acts like a glue, holding it all together. I am glad you liked the idea, Judith--I hope it turns out really well for you. We sure liked it! Mona, the purpose that the cream serves is that it acts rather like a glue–it helps hold everything together.

A question - is it possible to omit the heavy cream without effecting the sauce? Not really available in the nearby stores where I live and I'm not that partial to it myself.

But tomato+cream in the sauce is my favourite. Have you tried adding a dollop of mascarpone cheese to the tomato sauce? Even I dont like to drown the pasta in sauce..
