Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Garlic Tomato Pasta:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and then drain the rest.
2. Sauté Garlic: 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.
3. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned tomatoes (including juices) and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and mix well. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, throwing in the grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and plate, garnishing with fresh basil.

These steps will lead you to a delicious and satisfying meal every time!
