Method

  1. Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

  2. Make the sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the marinara sauce and heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. Combine the pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

  4. Finish with basil: Sprinkle the fresh basil over the pasta and stir gently.

  5. Serve: Transfer to bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan and basil leaves.

Chef's Tip
