Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Creamy Garlic Tomato Pasta:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices, stirring well to combine with the garlic. Allow this to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
4. Mix in Cream: Slowly pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir until fully incorporated. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Season: Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, allowing it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it well with the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.
7. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
8. Enjoy: Serve the pasta warm and enjoy your mouth-watering Creamy Garlic Tomato Pasta!
