Instructions
- Prepare the pasta per package directions.
- Over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Flash cook the garlic, about 1 minute, and then add crushed tomatoes. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Add shredded Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then immediately reduce to low heat and stir continuously, until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Then stir in the basil giving it 2-3 minutes to wilt.
- Remove from heat and toss pasta with the sauce. Garnish with additional parmesan and/or fresh basil. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you like your pasta to be more saucy, use 12 oz of pasta instead of 16 oz.
