Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, combining thoroughly with the tomato base.
Simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the sauce just before serving.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then keep warm until ready to serve.
