One-Pan Sun-dried Tomato Pasta
Prep Time: 5 minutes - Cook Time: 10 Minutes - Total time: 15 minutes - Servings: 2 plates
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken stock or bone broth (for extra protein)
- 1/2 cup half and half or whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 (8 oz) jar sun‑dried tomatoes in oil, oil drained
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons optional – softened cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional – 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium‑low heat, add the butter and garlic to the pan and sauté about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock, sun‑dried tomatoes, and seasonings.
- Slowly pour in the half and half, then bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the pasta, allowing it to sit for about 30 seconds until you can maneuver it down into the liquid without breaking the pasta.
- Let the pasta cook submerged in the simmering liquid for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to a simmer. If using cream cheese, add it now and let it melt into the sauce.
- Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente.
- Sprinkle over the parmesan and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- If the pasta absorbs all the sauce and seems dry, add a splash more chicken stock or half and half to adjust the consistency.
Notes:
You can use spaghetti or bucatini instead; cooking time may vary slightly.
To reheat: add a splash of chicken stock and/or half and half to the pasta before microwaving to rehydrate.
