A delicious and easy recipe for creamy tomato pasta that combines pasta with a rich and flavorful tomato cream sauce.

Scale

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve about a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juice) to the skillet and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the dried basil and oregano. Stir and let it simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Cook for another minute.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.

For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative.
Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
