Creating Irresistible Creamy Tomato Garlic Pasta can be a delightful culinary adventure. Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring well. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
4. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Combine until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
5. Season: Sprinkle in the oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
6. Toss the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
7. Add Cheese: Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
8. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
9. Plate the Dish: Use tongs to serve the creamy pasta onto plates or bowls.
10. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
