Ingredients
Method
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, and penne pasta to the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Remove from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan if desired.
