Description
An easy and versatile one-pan Sun-dried Tomato Pasta that takes only 15 minutes and uses a handful of ingredients, perfect for busy workdays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup half and half or whole milk, room temperature
- 8 oz jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, oil drained
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Saute: In a large skillet over medium-low, add butter and garlic, saute about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Boil: Pour in the chicken stock, sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings. Slowly pour in the half and half then bring to a gentle boil.
- Add Pasta: Add the pasta in, allowing it to sit for 30 seconds until you can maneuver it down into the liquid without breaking the pasta.
- Simmer: Let pasta cook submerged in simmering liquid for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer (and add cream cheese now if using, letting it melt into the sauce). Continue to cook until pasta is al dente.
- Finish: Sprinkle over the parmesan and add more salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash more chicken stock or half and half if needed for more liquidity.
Notes
Spaghetti or bucatini can be used instead, though they may need extra cooking time. To reheat, add a splash of chicken stock and/or half and half before microwaving.
