Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Tomato Garlic Pasta
  • 8 oz pasta of your choice penne is recommended
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For Garnish
  • Fresh basil
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Step 3: Next, add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet and bring everything to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Step 4: Now stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let this delicious sauce simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Step 5: Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring that every piece of pasta is well coated with that creamy goodness.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or cream to bring back its creaminess.
