How to Make Angel Hair Pasta W Garlic Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente.

  3. Add 1/4 cup of oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained), and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the saucepan.
  4. Sauté for 4 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes are softened.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and sauté for 1 more minute.
  6. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the saucepan with the sun-dried tomato mixture.
  7. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
