INGREDIENTS

8 Ounces Penne Pasta

2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic

2 Cups Whole Tomatoes (Drained & Finely Chopped)

1 Teaspoon Dried Basil Leaves

1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

2/3 Cup Heavy Cream

Cook the penne according to package directions.  Make sure NOT to rinse the pasta after draining the pasta. While the pasta is cooking melt the butter, over a medium heat, in a medium size skillet.  Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Make sure NOT to brown the garlic.  Drain the tomatoes, but reserve the liquid.  Add the tomatoes with 1/4 cup of the tomato liquid.  Add the basil, salt and pepper.  Heat to boiling.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid is reduced.  Add the cream.  Heat through on a low heat for 2 minutes.  Remove from the heat and in a large pasta bowl toss the hot pasta and the sauce together.  Sprinkle with cheese and serve immediately.  Serves 4
