Note: It is important that your Pasta is done before the sauce, so depending on your pastas cook time (I prefer angel hair for the 3 minute cook time), get that water boiling.
-
2
Heat the oil over med-high heat.
-
3
While thats happening open the tomatoes and drain, saving the juice.
-
4
Give them a couple of quick chops.
-
5
Then add the minced garlic and the cracked red pepper to your hot oil.
-
6
Stir around using a large wooden spatula until it just starts browning.
-
7
Dump the tomatoes in the pan, then stir and chop at them with your spatula.
-
8
If it is getting too hot, turn down the heat a little bit.
-
9
This is where I like to liberally salt and black pepper the tomatoes.
-
10
Add about 1/2 cup of the tomato juice.
-
11
Salt again.
-
12
Turn the heat up a little and let it come to a boil.
-
13
Reduce the heat to med-low and let cook for about 5 minutes.
-
14
Pour in your cream and stir it all up for about 2 minutes.
-
15
Now: Is your pasta done?
-
16
Let the sauce cook for a couple minutes more then add your basil and serve.
-
17
Is your pasta still cooking?
-
18
Reduce the heat to simmer and wait for your pasta to finish.
-
19
Then add the basil and serve.
-
20
Sometimes I pour the whole pan on top of the pasta and sometimes I put it to the side so everyone can help themselves.
-
21
You decide.
-
22
You can also add cooked chicken to this dish.
-
23
Just add at the end.
-
24
So easy and so delicious.
