  • kosher salt
  • 1 lb linguine
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Stir in tomatoes, cream and Parmesan then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to medium and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
