Ingredients
  

12 oz pasta of your choice (penne or fettuccine works well)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup marinara sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 tsp dried oregano

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

      Make the Sauce: Pour in the marinara sauce and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, mixing well until the sauce takes on a light pink color.

        Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

          Finish the Dish: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Garnish and Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately, pairing with crispy garlic bread or a side salad if desired.
