Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, undrained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil leaves optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • large pot

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.

  4. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
