Steps

Boil the pasta in salted water until just tender. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
While it cooks, warm the oil in a large pan and cook the garlic 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, salt and sugar. Simmer 10 minutes.
Stir in the cream and Parmesan until smooth.
Toss in the pasta, adding pasta water a splash at a time until glossy. Tear basil over the top.

Keeping and reheating

Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add a spoonful of water before reheating to loosen the sauce.
