Mix in broth, cream, and reserved tomato juice. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill. Rewarm before using.) Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.
