Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce

This pasta dish is so good. It is one of my favorites! It is out of a cook book I got in high school called 30 Minutes or Less. It is super easy to make, is very filling and tastes great.

Ingredients:
8 ounces penne or other tube pasta
1 (14.5 ounce) can of tomatoes with garlic and onion
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped OR 1 tsp dried basil
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Boil pasta until tender and drain
Cook tomatoes over medium high heat in skillet until thickened about 5 minutes
Reduce heat
Add basil and cream
Heat through, do not boil
Toss with pasta and cheese

Sides I like with this: I like homemade bread, but any kind of roll is good, Rhodes are really easy or refrigerator rolls are fast. Of course a green salad goes with this, but so would green beans or a warm veggie.
