10-MINUTE SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA



10-Minute Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta image

Dinner is ready in 10 minutes with this creamy sun-dried tomato pasta! I use my favorite all-natural sun-dried tomatoes, and I skip heavy cream in favor of a little whole milk and starchy pasta water for a lighter sauce, but you can definitely use heavy cream if you prefer! If you're not worried about keeping this pasta dish vegetarian, toss in some shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover Italian-style baked chicken breast or skillet chicken.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces penne pasta or short pasta of your choice
3 to 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, (chopped, I used our all-natural sun-dried tomatoes which are bold and flavorful)
Extra virgin olive oil
2 small shallots, (chopped)
4 large garlic cloves, (minced)
Kosher salt
½ cup whole milk
½ to ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, (more or less to your liking (or a vegetarian Parmesan option))
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or Aleppo-style pepper, (less spicy)
Fresh basil, (torn)

Steps:

  • Begin cooking the pasta. Fill a medium saucepan with plenty of water and season the water well with kosher salt. Bring the water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions, till al dente. Make sure to reserve some of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, work on the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil in a large deep pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots, garlic, and a good pinch of salt and cook, tossing regularly for about a minute. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another minute or so, tossing until the dried tomato bits have softened a little. Add the milk and a little bit of the pasta cooking water (about ¼ cup) and cook for another minute or two until warmed through. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • Turn the heat off. Add in the pasta and Parmesan cheese, mix well to make sure the pasta is well-coated (if needed, add a bit more of the pasta cooking water). Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Finish with the torn basil and serve immediately!

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CREAM SAUCE



Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce image

I'm in heaven when I have this. It's so rich & creamy. The success to this recipe relies on the sun-dried tomatoes. I find Unico's julienned cut sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil are the best. Make sure to pick a jar that the sun-dried tomatoes are still bright red, not brown.

Yield Makes (4 main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup whipping cream
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 pound penne pasta
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, cream, red peppers and crushed red pepper; simmer over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup basil and simmer 1 minute longer.
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot. Add sauce, cheese and 1/2 cup basil and toss to coat. Add enough reserved cooking liquid to pasta to moisten if dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For the best flavor, use a combination of fresh and sun-dried tomatoes. You can use any type of fresh tomatoes you like, but cherry tomatoes and Roma tomatoes are good choices. Sun-dried tomatoes add a concentrated, sweet flavor to the sauce.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them slightly caramelized. To roast the tomatoes, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the tomatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly wrinkled and caramelized.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an important ingredient in this sauce, so be sure to use one that you like the taste of. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to this sauce. Add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar if the sauce is too acidic.

Conclusion:

This fresh and sun-dried tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, and vegetables. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
