Ultrapasteurized cream is hard to work with. It wasn't around when most
cookbooks were written. You can get better help with specifics if you
more accurately describe what you do.

Ok, i fried bacon,mushrooms,onion, poured in some fresh cream, let it
heat a bit, put in some grated cheese, mixed it with cooked pasta
tubes, put it in a baking tray with more grated cheese on top, baked it
for half an hour 180 degrees electric.

From the rest of the quantities given, I imagine that a 28-oz can of
crushed tomatoes is called for. Different brands of canned crushed
tomatoes vary greatly in consistency. Rienzi is small pieces in rich
tomato juice or thick puree, as marked on the can. Redpack is also
pieces in juice. Cento is a very thick puree. They all taste good, but
if you care about consistency, use a brand you know, or crush whole
tomatoes yourself.

I freeze cubes of tomato paste in an ice-cube tray and keep them in a
zip-up plastic bag in the freezer. Aside from adding a bit of tomato to
a dish I dream up, they let me quickly thicken a sauce that turns out
too loose because the ingredients are a little wet. Tomato paste is also
available in squeeze tubes like tooth paste. (Garlic too.) Very handy
for the Lone gas Ranger.

Cream will separate if cooked to hot/long, or cooked with anything
acidic.
