How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Goat Cheese Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of reserved sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onion and saute until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and saute for another 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  8. Pour in white wine and add drained sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly reduced.
  9. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  10. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  11. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Remove from heat and gently stir in crumbled goat cheese and fresh parsley.
  13. Serve immediately in bowls and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
