Last night our church had a mission's banquet and asked people to bring in various ethnic dishes. Of course, I signed up for Italian! Pasta is a great food to fix when you're feeding large numbers! So I made pasta with sun-dried tomatoes. It was a hit! Here's the recipe...
Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes
1 (8 oz) jar of sun-dried tomatoes in oil, undrained
1 small onion, chopped (I buy frozen chopped onions)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 skinned & boned chicken breast strips (optional)
3 tablespoon fresh or dry basil, chopped
1 1/2 cups fat-free half & half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb. short pasta (fusilli, bow-tie, spiral)
parmesan cheese to taste
Drain tomatoes and reserve oil for cooking. Chop sun-dried tomatoes. Saute chopped onion and garlic in 2 tablespoon tomato oil. Add chicken and cook until done. Add tomato and basil and cook, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining 2 T. tomato oil, half & half, salt, and pepper. Toss with hot cooked pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Buon appetito!
