Ingredients
  

Pasta and Sauce Ingredients
  • 8 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
  • 1 cup ripe tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until golden brown.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream until well blended.
  5. Toss cooked pasta in the sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Serve topped with fresh basil and optional grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For extra creaminess, mix in a bit of cream cheese. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
