Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces dry pasta (penne or rotini work well)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Add the dry pasta to the boiling liquid. Stir well to prevent sticking.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy.
  8. Fold in the fresh chopped basil.
  9. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a little heat.
  • Use good quality canned tomatoes; they make a difference in the flavor.
  • Stir frequently while the pasta cooks to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
