Begin by preparing your ingredients for the creamy tomato garlic pasta. Mince 4 garlic cloves and halve a pint of cherry tomatoes, setting them aside.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, along with another pinch of salt. Sauté the tomatoes for 10 to 15 minutes until they soften.

Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine to deglaze the pan while scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom.

Lower the heat and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously. Whisk 2 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, stir in 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Let the creamy tomato garlic pasta simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Plate the creamy tomato garlic pasta generously, garnishing with freshly grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.
