While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat the heavy cream over medium heat.

3.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet.
Toss to coat.
4.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5.
Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6.
Serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use aged Parmesan cheese.
If you don’t have basil pesto, you can use store-bought or make your own by combining 1 cup fresh basil, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and blending until smooth.
If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use fresh or canned tomatoes instead.
Be sure to drain the canned tomatoes well.
If you want a spicier pasta, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
This recipe is also delicious with grilled or roasted chicken or shrimp added.
