Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
A 30-minute weeknight pasta in a velvety tomato-basil sauce that tastes like it simmered all day.
Préparation
-
Cook penne in well-salted water until al dente; reserve a cup of pasta water.
-
Warm olive oil and sizzle the garlic 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper; simmer 10 minutes.
-
Stir in cream and most of the basil; simmer 2 minutes.
-
Toss the pasta through, loosening with pasta water. Finish with parmesan and basil.
💡 Astuces
A pinch of sugar tames the acidity of canned tomatoes. Reserve pasta water — the starch makes the sauce cling.
📝 Notes
For a vegan version, use plant cream and skip the parmesan (or use a vegan one).
