Pasta
  • 12 oz penne pasta
Sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 oz
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp dried basil

  5. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
