Tomato Basil Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¾ cups heavy cream
• Fresh basil

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. 
2. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until softened. (Tip: make sure tomatoes are facing flat-side-down.) 
3. Smoosh the halved tomatoes gently to determine if they're done; when soft enough they will release their juice and flesh with gentle prodding.
4. Reduce heat to low and add cream.
5. Let simmer for 15 minutes. Sauce will turn slightly pink and coat the back of the spoon. 
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
