Ingredients You’ll Need

For this delicious pasta dish, gather the following ingredients:

  • 12 ounces bucatini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Bucatini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

3. Add Tomatoes

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.

4. Incorporate Cream

Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

5. Combine with Bucatini

Add the cooked bucatini to the sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.

6. Serve

Plate the creamy rose bucatini and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy every creamy bite!
