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
Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant and golden, about 1–2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
You can use cherry tomatoes for a sweeter flavor.
Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Swap heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
Best served fresh, but leftovers store well for up to 2 days in the fridge.
