2. Add garlic, tomatoes with juices and salt.
3. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, at slow steady simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary, for about 45 minutes, or until droplets of fat float free from the tomato.
4. Stir occasionally, mashing any large pieces of tomato with the back of a spoon.
5. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water as per packet instructions.
6. Add cream to the tomato sauce, stir to combine and turn up the heat to bring to a slow simmer.
7. Add drained, cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss to combine with the sauce.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt & pepper.
9. To serve, garnish with basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil (plus some grated hard cheese, if desired).
