A delightful pasta dish combining creamy tomato sauce, sweet peas, and fragrant basil for a comforting meal.
Boil water in a large pot and add a generous pinch of salt.
Salting the water enhances the pasta's flavor as it cooks.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions.
Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
Add the frozen peas to the boiling water about one minute before the pasta is done.
This ensures the peas are cooked but still retain their vibrant color and sweetness.
Drain the pasta and peas together using a colander.
Shake the colander gently to remove excess water.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until tender.
Cook the onion until translucent for a sweeter flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes, basil leaves, cream, salt, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan.
Stir gently to combine and heat the sauce without boiling to maintain its creamy texture.
Combine the cooked pasta and peas with the sauce, mixing well to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best temperature and texture.
