→ What You Need
01 -
400 ml of water
02 -
1/2 teaspoon of salt
03 -
250 g of pasta (cooking time 8-11 minutes)
04 -
1 garlic clove
05 -
250 g of cherry tomatoes
06 -
30 g of grated parmesan
07 -
2 tbsp of tomato paste
08 -
200 g of heavy cream (30% whipping or 15% cooking cream)
09 -
1/2 bunch of basil leaves
10 -
1 onion
11 -
Pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Finely slice the onion, mince the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, and tear up the basil leaves into smaller pieces.
02 -
Throw in the pasta, prepped veggies, tomato paste, water, cream, basil, salt, and pepper all into a large pot. Turn the heat on and bring it to a boil with the lid on top.
03 -
Simmer the pasta uncovered over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom. Toss in the parmesan at the end, mix it well, and it's ready to serve.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish is a life-saver when you're short on time—everything cooks together in just one pot.
02 -
Mix it up by adding extra veggies like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers to the dish.
03 -
Cooking the pasta directly in the sauce makes it creamier and extra flavorful from the starch it releases.
