# How to Make It:

Put olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Toss in chopped garlic and cook until it smells good, usually 1-2 minutes.

04 -
Add heavy cream to the pan and mix well. Let it bubble softly and throw in red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
05 -
Drop the cooked penne into your sauce and mix until pasta is covered. If sauce seems thick, splash in some saved pasta water bit by bit.
06 -
Mix in grated parmesan cheese and stir until it melts completely into your sauce.
07 -
Dish up the hot pasta and top with extra parmesan and fresh basil leaves.
