Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced (or one can of crushed tomatoes)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Cook Tomatoes: Add the diced or crushed tomatoes to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally.

      Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in the sugar, dried basil, and oregano, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.

        Incorporate Cream Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese to the tomato mixture, stirring until fully integrated and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

          Finish the Sauce: If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and blended into the sauce. Taste again and adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Serve: Pour the creamy tomato sauce over your favorite pasta, and toss to combine. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.
