1 lb dried pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or spaghetti) 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup olive oil Salt and pepper to tasteInstructions:
1.
Cook the pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
Drain and reserve.
2.
Make the pesto sauce:
In a food processor or blender, combine the basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Pulse until smooth.
3.
Combine the sauce with the pasta:
In a large skillet or saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, pesto sauce, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
4.
Add the pasta:
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is heated through.
5.
Serve:
Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use homemade pesto sauce.
Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the pasta for a more substantial meal.
For a vegetarian version, replace the sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers or artichoke hearts.
To make ahead, prepare the sauce and cook the pasta separately.
Combine the two just before serving.
