Steps

1. Cook the pasta; save 1 cup water and drain.

3. Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer 8 minutes, then stir in cream.
4. Toss with pasta, parmesan and pasta water as needed.

Swaps

• Half-and-half or whole milk can replace cream; the sauce will be a little thinner, so simmer it a bit longer and do not boil hard.

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
