How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Sun Dried Tomatoes Goat Cheese
- 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.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
- 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).
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 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).
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), and cook until heated through.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
- 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!
