Cooking level
Instruction mode
1. Cook the pasta
Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain.
Al dente means the pasta should be tender with a slight bite in the center.
2. Cook the aromatics
Cook the garlic in butter until fragrant.
Once garlic smells strong and toasty, move quickly so it does not burn and turn bitter.
3. Make the sauce
Add tomato sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
A simmer uses small steady bubbles, not a hard rolling boil.
4. Step 4
Stir in heavy cream and parmesan until smooth.
Keep the heat gentle and stir steadily so the sauce stays smooth instead of splitting.
5. Finish and serve
Toss with the pasta and serve hot.
