Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking water.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring consistently for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Add the minced garlic to the roux and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate stuck bits. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and torn basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing gently in the sauce. Add reserved pasta water if needed to adjust sauce consistency. Serve warm.
