It tastes restaurant-level but uses pantry ingredients. The sauce is creamy without feeling heavy, and the basil keeps it fresh.

Directions

  1. Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente.
  2. Warm olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes in a large pan.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in cream, parmesan, and a splash of pasta water.
  5. Toss pasta through the sauce, finish with basil, and serve hot.
