Ingredients:  
▢8 ounces uncooked pasta
▢2 tablespoons butter
▢2-3 cloves garlic minced
▢2 tablespoons tomato paste
▢1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
▢3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
▢1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
▢Salt & pepper to taste
▢Freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving, to taste
Directions:
Directions:
1. Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.

2. Meanwhile (once the pasta starts to cook), add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly.

3. Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir until it's nice and smooth. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes or until it's thickened to your liking (it should be very gently bubbling, so you may need to turn down the heat).

4. Season the sauce with salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with both). If the sauce is a little too acidic/tangy for your liking, add in a pinch of sugar.

5. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce (add a splash of hot pasta water if the sauce gets too thick). Serve immediately with plenty of parmesan cheese over top.
