Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Basil Pasta

Sorry for not posting anything lately. This past weekend I was at my parents' house and they loaded me up on food for the week; hence, no need to cook. But unfortunately, I finished off all my goodies yesterday so today I'm back to being independent.

Ingredients

1 package of fusilli or penne pasta (8 oz)

1 cup of heavy cream

1/4 cup of sun dried tomatos packed in oil, lightly drained

1 tablespoon oil or vegetable oil

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1/8 cup of fresh basil

3-4 teaspoons of salt

1.5 tablespoons of pine nuts

freshly cracked black pepper

Method

1. Assemble all ingredients

2. In a medium sized pot, add water and begin boiling your pasta. Cook until al dente (about 15 minutes).

3. In a medium sized skillet, add the olive or vegetable oil and minced garlic. Saute over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the heavy cream and the sun dried tomatos. Continue to stir over low heat, until the sauce thickens. Add the salt (season to your liking).

5. Add the basil and continue to stir on low heat. The sauce should be fairly thick by now.




6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.

7. Top the pasta with pine nuts and freshly cracked pepper. That's it!
