Ingredients

– 12 ounces pasta (spaghetti, penne, or your choice)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

– 1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

Creating Creamy Tomato Garlic Pasta is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
5. Season the Sauce: Add dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and plate the pasta. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

These steps will help you create a delightful dish that everyone will love.
