Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until every piece is evenly coated with sauce. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan until it melts into the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with torn fresh basil and extra Parmesan.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days. For a lighter sauce, use whole-milk cream or a combination of milk and butter. This dish can be made dairy-free with a plant-based cream and cheese substitute.
