This meal is quite possibly the easiest and fastest one I've posted yet! I'm a fan, a BIG fan of this simple pasta dish! The original plan was just to make Pasta Aglio E Olio (garlic and oil), but as usual I couldn't leave well enough alone. It's dangerous for me to have sun-dried tomatoes and basil on hand...I end up adding it to almost everything. Try this yummy meal! It's perfect after a long day of work - I think I had dinner ready in about 12 minutes, no joke!
Ingredients:
1 box of pasta cooked Al Dente - I used whole wheat Angel Hair
3/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves of garlic - minced
1/4 cup of sliced sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup of fresh basil - chopped
Parmesan cheese for serving
Salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper (to taste)
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add garlic, stir and lower heat to medium-low. Cook garlic for 2-3 minutes - stirring frequently.
2. Add sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Continue stirring for another 3 minutes then turn off the heat.
3. After the pasta is strained, return it to a large pot and combine with the olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes. Toss so pasta is evenly coated. Serve with parmesan cheese.
