A delightful and comforting pasta dish that combines sun-dried tomatoes with a rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340g) pasta of your choice (such as penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup (150g) sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Extra grated Parmesan and basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the chopped sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil over medium heat with minced garlic for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Create the sauce by adding heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth, bringing to a gentle simmer and letting it reduce on low heat for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Season the sauce with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  5. Make it creamy by stirring in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat and heating for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add chopped fresh basil and garnish with extra Parmesan and basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Reserve some pasta water when draining; a splash can help loosen the sauce if it thickens too much. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth.
