Ingredients
- 12 ounces Penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 3 minutes, until heated through. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the pink sauce.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pasta.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
