DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse and chop the produce accordingly. Cook your pasta according to package instructions. Then, set aside until Step 5.
2. Make the cream. Add ingredients to blender and pulse until smooth.
3. Make the sauce. Set a large pot to medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and onion, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Cook until onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Add tomatoes and spices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow sauce to cook for at least 20 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally. You can simmer for longer for a richer flavor.
5. About 5 minutes before serving, add the cream and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and allow flavors to marry. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Add 1 spoonful of sauce to the pasta and toss to combine. Distribute pasta evenly among serving bowls. Top with sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves. Enjoy!
