Ingredients for Angel Hair Pasta With Sun Dried Tomatoes Goat Cheese

  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Oil
  • Yellow Onion
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • White Wine
  • Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese

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

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until al dente.
  2. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped yellow onion and saute until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  4. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a simmer. Cook until the wine has reduced by half (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), and cook until heated through.
  7. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
