Best way to render articles index page with Statamic and Laravel?

Hey there, I've migrated my posts from a database to Statamic and things are going well so far. One thing I'm a little confused about though is how to render a list of blog posts with pagination. For example I'd like to render 12 articles on mysite.com/blog and then when user clicks "next page" it renders 12 more articles and the url is mysite.com/blog?page=2 or something like that..

I've come up with a solution using Laravel and I think I'm making it too complicated but this is what I have. It doesn't do pagination but instead fetches all of the articles in the Statamic DB, puts them in a Laravel collection, sorts it and passes it to a Blade view. Please save me lol

Route defined in routes/web.php:

    Route::get('/blog', '[email protected]')->name('posts');

app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php

    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        if (Cache::has('posts')) {
            $posts = Cache::get('posts');
            return view('blog.index', compact('posts'));
        }

        $entries = Entry::query()->where('collection', 'articles')->get();
        $posts = collect();

        foreach($entries as $entry) {
            $posts->push($entry->toAugmentedArray());
        }
        $posts = $posts->sortByDesc('date_published');

        Cache::put('posts', $posts);

        return view('blog.index', compact('posts'));

Then in that blade file I loop through the entries:

@foreach($posts as $entry)
    <p class="text-xl font-semibold text-gray-900">
        {{ $entry['title'] }}
    </p>
@endforeach

I'm totally fine using Antlers and Statamic routing and everything. My question is what's the "Statamic way" to render a list of articles on a page within a Laravel application?

If it's helpful these are the Articles and Pages collections I've defined in Statamic:

Articles:

title: Articles
template: articles/show
layout: layout
taxonomies:
  - categories
revisions: false
route: '/blog/{slug}'
date: true
sort_dir: asc
date_behavior:
  past: public
  future: private

Pages:

title: Pages
revisions: false
route: '{parent_uri}/{slug}'
structure:
  root: true
