A quick and comforting creamy tomato garlic pasta that brings the flavors of a cozy trattoria to your table in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook the pasta according to package timing until al dente. Drain and reserve a small cup of pasta water.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until light golden and fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  3. Add diced tomatoes to the skillet, season, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated. Heat together for a minute.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in chopped fresh basil, and serve immediately with optional grated Parmesan.

Notes

Use gluten-free pasta if needed. Stir in a tablespoon of pasta cooking water for a lighter finish. Fresh tomatoes are best, but canned can be used in a pinch.
