In the realm of quick, flavorful meals, a sun-dried tomato pasta with a creamy parmesan sauce stands as a culinary gem. Its versatility, whether as a vegetarian main course or a delightful side dish, pairs effortlessly with an array of proteins, from roasted chicken to grilled pork or braised short ribs.
Recipe: Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Begin by bringing a generously salted pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, remembering to reserve a cup of the pasta water for sauce thinning if necessary. Once cooked, drain the pasta thoroughly.
In a spacious skillet over medium heat, infuse the dish with flavor by sautéing sun-dried tomatoes in a touch of olive oil or the oil from the tomatoes themselves. Add minced garlic and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, letting the aroma develop for about a minute.
