Instructions
Making Easy One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta is a simple process. Just follow these steps:
1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Combine the Ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable or chicken broth, and pasta. Stir well to combine.
4. Season: Add dried basil, oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and portion into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
