Step 1
Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup heavy cream, stirring until combined and simmering, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed, until the pasta is coated and glossy, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Remove from heat and swirl in the 1/4 cup pesto, then top with the 4 basil leaves. Serve immediately.
