Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. rigatoni or penne pasta
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained & chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • cup chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, add your pasta and cook according to box instructions. If you have a 1lb (16 oz) box of pasta only use half or 8 oz. of the box and save the rest.
  • In a large skillet on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute the sun-dried tomatoes 1-2 minutes then add the minced garlic and saute an additional 30 seconds.
  • Next add the chicken broth, heavy cream and seasoning. Stir well, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes. Now add the fresh grated parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Carefully mix well with the sun-dried tomato sauce.
  • Now just serve in a bowl with some extra parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and a little crushed red peppers *optional* and enjoy!
