Total Time15 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 2 entree servings

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

Seasonings

  • 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, add butter and garlic to a pan, saute 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 in, allowing it to sit for 30 seconds until you can maneuver it down into the liquid without breaking the pasta.
  • Let pasta cook submerged in simmering liquid for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer (and add cream cheese now if using, letting it melt into the sauce). Continue to cook until pasta is al dente.
  • Sprinkle over the parmesan and add more salt and pepper if needed. You can add a splash more chicken stock or half and half if needed to add a little more liquidity to your pasta if it absorbs all the pan sauce.

Notes

* Spaghetti or bucatini can be used instead, may need to extend cooking time to reach al dente
TO REHEAT:
Add a splash of chicken stock and/or half and half to rehydrate the pasta before microwaving.
