Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your Easy One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to ensure an efficient cooking process.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, cooking until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Combine Canned Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juice and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
4. Add Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the spaghetti (or your chosen pasta) to the pot, pushing it down gently to submerge it in the liquid.
5. Cook Pasta: Reduce the heat slightly, and let it simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
6. Stir in Heavy Cream: Once the pasta is cooked, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Simmer: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pot from heat. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
