Yield Makes (4 main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup whipping cream
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 pound penne pasta
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, cream, red peppers and crushed red pepper; simmer over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup basil and simmer 1 minute longer.
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot. Add sauce, cheese and 1/2 cup basil and toss to coat. Add enough reserved cooking liquid to pasta to moisten if dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh basil, ripe sundried tomatoes, and tangy yogurt will make all the difference.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the pesto.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the basil, sundried tomatoes, and pine nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that the pesto is smooth.
  • Adjust the amount of yogurt and cream in the sauce to achieve your desired consistency. If you like a thicker sauce, use less yogurt and more cream. For a thinner sauce, use more yogurt and less cream.
  • Serve the pasta with sundried tomato pesto yogurt cream sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pasta with Sundried Tomato Pesto Yogurt Cream Sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
