Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces bow tie pasta (1 box)
4 Tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves (finely minced or pressed through a garlic press)
½ Tablespoon dried basil
8 ounces cream cheese (softened and cut into small cubes)
8 ounces sun dried tomatoes (1 jar, rinsed, drained and chopped)
2 cups milk
8 ounces parmesan cheese (grated)
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (more to taste if needed)
1 cup chicken (cooked and cubed)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. While it's cooking, prepare the sauce.
  • In a medium pot or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Stir in the dried basil. Add the cream cheese, stirring with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. It will look curdled at first, but with constant whisking for 2-3 minutes, it will become a smooth creamy paste. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Keep cooking over medium heat and add the milk and whisk quickly and constantly until it is blended into the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, pepper and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is the desired consistency, 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve over hot, cooked noodles. I put my chicken on top, or you can mix it in.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. This is especially true for the vegetables, herbs, and cheese.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (firm to the bite). Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Tuscan cooking, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is produced in Italy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: The recipes in this article are just a starting point. Feel free to add or substitute ingredients to create your own unique dish.

Conclusion:

Tuscan pasta is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
