Ingredients
Scale
8 oz. of pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti)
2 tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz.) of crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
1 tsp. dried basil or 1 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese for serving (optional but recommended)
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until it’s al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it brown.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well until everything is combined and the sauce is creamy.
Add the dried basil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss gently to ensure the pasta is coated.
Serve the pasta hot, garnishing with Parmesan cheese and additional basil if desired.
