  2. Add one chopped onion and two minced garlic cloves to the hot oil, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft.
  3. Stir in roughly three cups of chopped fresh tomatoes, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until they start to break down.
  4. Pour in 3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock and add 12 ounces of spaghetti, pressing it down to submerge it in the liquid.

  6. Once cooked, stir in 1 cup of double cream and a handful of freshly chopped basil, letting it sit for 2 minutes off the heat.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil.
