Instructions
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and saute for 2 more minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cream to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes to thicken the sauce, covering the pot halfway with a lid if needed to prevent splatters. Stir in the parmesan cheese and season the sauce with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
- OPTIONAL STEP: for a silky smooth sauce, blend the sauce using an immersion blender.
- Serve the sauce over your choice of pasta with extra parmesan and a little fresh basil on top.
